A social media site which, while is is firmly corporate-controlled, has nevertheless assisted in various important stories such as the murder of Sunny Sheu.
Censorship
Reddit, to quote one subscriber "has been compromised for a very long time".[1] It has been, and presumably still is, subject to various forms of censorship[2] and the official rules for how the site works are not followed with posts of deep political relevance.[3]
Pizzagate
On 24 November 2016, Reddit banned the sub-reddit /r/PizzaGate "due to a violation of our content policy. Specifically, the proliferation of personal and confidential information. We don’t want witchhunts on our site."[4][5] The PizzaGate investigation was continued at voat.co[6] and by the Corbett Report,[7] leading to comments about the "Wrong side of history" and the Streisand Effect.[8]
A Quote by Reddit

| Barnaby Jack | “It does make me wonder, if he was killed, that the CIA and other Government agencies don't want this flaw to be solved. After all, it would make an excellent tool to bump [off] 'dangerous' people who have pacemakers."” | 2013 |
