 Reddit/Censorship(Internet/Censorship)   | |
|---|---|
 | |
Reddit is censored, or as one subscriber summarised "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]
2019
Reddit was active in censoring the content of the Dark Overlord document leak about 9-11.[4] Reddit was very active in censorship after the Christchurch Mass Shooting, after which it lost its position in the world's top 20 websites and alternatives such as SaidIt increased in new users.
2018
2018 was a year of increasing censorship by commercially-controlled media, especially on the internet. Hundreds of communities were removed from Reddit after the SESTA/FOSTA bill was passed which changed the legal liability.[5][6]
Wikispooks
On 30 March 2017, a user posted a link to the Wikispooks page on spooks, with the caption "Check out "wikispooks" for a disturbing cast of characters." The next day, the comment was still visible, but the user had been deleted.[7]
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."[8][9] The PizzaGate investigation was continued at voat.co[10] and by the Corbett Report,[11] leading to comments about the "Wrong side of history" and the Streisand effect.[12]
