Add Reddit to the long list of tech companies over stepping their boundaries. They have now quarantined the “r/The_Donald” subreddit.
Reddit claims that Trump supporters were calling for violence against police officers in Oregon. The Governor of Oregon called for Republican law makers to be dragged in by law enforcement to cast votes regarding climate change.
A Reddit quarantine requires users to opt-in to following a subreddit. This is because it is flagged as hateful and inappropriate content. Reddit claims that it quarantines subreddits to “protect its users.”
Reddit is one of the most visited websites in the US. Silencing conservative political support in the name of hate speech has become the normal approach to big tech censorship.
The subreddit was user run, however, it was known to be the official subreddit linked to President Trump. The president has done open forums on the platform and has held Ask Me Anything events to speak to his supporters.
Other big-name Trump supporters used the subreddit to disseminate information. This would include Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch.
Reddit sited months of rule breaking behavior, that is because supporting President Trump is breaking the rules.
George Soros supports Media Matters (Wikimedia) Media Matters cited the alleged threats of “violence.” The users were posting about the second amendment and the right to pick up arms to defend the constitution from an over reaching government. No direct calls for violence were present in any of the posts.
Go figure that once again Media Matters is doing everything in their power to shut down conservative media. Any sane person would understand deleting a comment that called for violence. Reddit’s move to quarantine r/The_Donald is another example of censorship in America.
Reddit was once known to be a free speech platform but that is no longer the case.
If they’ve never squashed Antifa’s subreddit, it’s time for a RICO Act prosecution.
No.
Nothing is stopping you from posting the whole thing.
Free Republic is not your personal click farm or a free advertising platform for your blog.
Get a job, you parasite.
bttt
Here is the rest. See? No clickbait.

Do you think Reddit is censoring Trump supporters?
didn’t see that coming... NOT
Looks like we all are going to be Loomered - one way or another.
Yes. Reddit also banning accounts that links to Bitchute.
mastodon (the instance or software for Gab) is talking about cutting off Gab for being a "literal nazi site"
Does Jim R own the FR servers?
Blog pimpin’ ain’t easy.
CC
For a site that has porn sites, I find it hilarious that they call Trump inappropriate.
Been there almost daily and never saw one post inciting or threatening violence against police. Absurd.
Reddit is owned by Advance Publications.
That should answer your question. :-(
Yes he does. He doesn't own the Internet Service Provider/hosting facility/bandwidth provider that they're hosted at and connected to however. Don't think I need to tell you what that means.
Get a life. Linking to legit conservative bloggers and sites is a plus and light-years better than half the Leftist trash members post these days.
Go onto ANY subreddit and say that you’re Pro-Life.
See the hate you get!! And Reddit doesn’t give a rats azz about that. But-orange man bad gets their undivided attention and quarantine???
Freedom of speech hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!!

Their intent is to quash all not one opinion. While they’re doing Youtubers and Tweeters and Redditors, don’t forget they hated us first.
all *but* one opinion...
What's happening on Reddit is an organized troll campaign to shut that forum down. It's happened elsewhere (Fakebook) and it's a well established pattern. It's easy to see, at least for anyone with a fully functioning brain.
Yep. Here the owner isn’t a weak point; as with social media startups they’ll go after monitization (payment processing or bank) or the ISP.
Neither here nor TD have the things they’re accused of, but that’s unimportant to the left. The faux charge is just temporary cover; chasing about disproving it is a waste of time — they’re not going to realize an error and apologize!
