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]
2018
2018 has been 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.[4][5]
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.[6]
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."[7][8] The PizzaGate investigation was continued at voat.co[9] and by the Corbett Report,[10] leading to comments about the "Wrong side of history" and the Streisand effect.[11]
