News Reddit Bans Users, Deletes Comments That Say Orlando Terrorist Was Muslim - GoFuckYourself.com

Reddit moderators are actively banning users posting articles discussing Orlando nightclub terrorist Omar Mateen’s religion.

User “boner_parade” stated that /r/news is actually deleting every post discussing the Orlando shooting, not just those discussing Mateen’s religion.

User “moonsprite” shared a screenshot of an article he posted titled, “Orlando shooting suspect may have ‘leanings’ to Islamic extremism,” to the r/news subreddit.

“SomeGuy469” tried to post an update when law enforcement officials raised the death count from 20 to 50, but the “thread was deleted before [he] could finish his comment.”

Some users claim that it isn’t only /r/news that is pushing censorships, but also all the major news subreddits.

“Zooey_K” — an LGBT activist — called for Reddit moderators to step down on the /r/the_donald because it “is the only sub it won’t get censored in.”

“ULN515” shared a screenshot of the front page of Reddit, noting that only posts to /r/the_donald are discussing the terror attack.

“HyperCuriousMe” also noted that the Reddit admins “quarantined /r/european” have been censoring users for posting articles critical of Syrian immigrants.

“The SJWs (or whoever) brigaded and posted extremist neo-nazi material on there to make the sub look radical and the admins shut it down,” they explained. “The censorship takes place on the highest levels.”

User “lets_get_hyyer” claimed to be the first to post Omar Mateed’s name, and his post was labeled as “misleading.”

“I have no idea how in the fuck they deducted it was a misleading title,” he wrote. “And then I got muted for 72 hours for saying they are censoring shit.”FULL STORY

Doesn't make sense. Reddit posters are hugely for trump. So reddit owners got paid by the Democrats to censor after this?

Interesting. Why would any mod censor the shooters religion, name, etc, to what benefit?

they're trying not to get involved with the issue I'm thinking

dunno, but i don't think it was solely mods.. seemed like it was being blocked/censored across a lot of the subreddits.. i was reading it in 'askreddit', and i think someone created another news group specifically for this situation

Yeah, probably it's too sensitive a topic to discuss there...

reddit has long been known for its strange slant on the world and viciously silencing accounts that don't follow their views.

Exactly. Everyone else including Obama called it an act of terror. Reddit wouldn't be that idiotic.
