Reddit News Scrubbed Any Posts Saying the Orlando Shooter Was Muslim

The truth will be eradicated in favor of the approved Reddit narrative, like a totalitarian dictatorship.

This isn’t a site deleting opinion, this is a site deleting news it doesn’t like. When Breitbart contacted moderators and asked about the deletions, they were “muted,” which means they have no way of communicating on Reddit for 3 days.

Breitbart-

There are reports of mass censorship on /r/News, the chief Reddit community for breaking news stories, in the wake of last evening’s deadly terrorist attack. Moderators of the subreddit even deleted a post offering blood donation advice to Orlando residents.

One user reported that he was banned from the /r/News subreddit after he posted a link to a news story detailing the FBI’s suspicions that the Muslim shooter, who attacked a gay nightclub in Orlando, had ties to Islamic extremism.

Another user reported that comments had been locked in a thread about the shootings as soon as the FBI confirmed that it was indeed a Muslim terrorist attack.

A commenter underneath the post also claimed that he was banned from /r/News for merely asking if there was an alternative location to discuss the story, after comments on the original link had been locked.

A thread on KotakuInAction, a major anti-censorship community on Reddit, tracked thread deletions and locks as they emerged. Although a “megathread” discussing the shootings appears to have eventually been set up on /r/News, it was preceded by multiple topic lockdowns and comment-deletions.

However, censorship in the “megathread” continued — at the time of reporting, there are over 10,000 comments in the thread, but large swathes of them have been deleted by the subreddit’s moderators.

Extraordinarily, Reddit archive sites show that moderators deleted a post offering advice to Orlando residents about how to donate blood to survivors.

  1. Moslems have driven a wedge between everyday Americans.
    Moslems have driven a wedge between American politicians.
    Moslems have now driven a wedge between Internet Web Sites.

    Where (not when) does this Moslem Jihad end?

    🙁

  2. Moslems have driven a wedge between everyday Americans and Jeramiah Wright´s God-Damn-America-hating, jug-eared, dog-eating, feculent, two-bit, Gay-obsessed Communist Organizer is swinging the sledge hammer!

    Maybe they should be re-named to Redshit…

  3. Keep in mind that the government is rapidly closing in on censoring websites.
    That is why many sites are tightening up their political positions in hopes of being on the winning side as the uniparty is set to make censorship happen.

  4. What be Reddit? Why should I care?
    Wasn’t curious enough to look. Sounds like leftists who we should not give the time of day to

    Fuckem

    They mean nothing. Nothing. Don’t give them cred by mentioning them.

  5. Tyrants should exercise caution; no one is anonymous, not the creators of sites or the moderators they employ. What we are watching are the desperate acts of a bankrupt ideology as they attempt to avoid the approaching oblivion and maintain some semblance of control. “You can fool some of the people…;” that time has passed, the mask is off. As Commander Shore advised, “Stand by for action!”

  6. Good ole hypocritical reddit.
    You can post the most depraved porn, people getting killed and maimed, but you can’t tell the truth about the most existential threat facing the free world.
    Fuckin’ losers.
