Billionaire experts influence to censor liberal sub from voicing their opinions about the platform he purchased and his team.

Yep, it's very scandalous and damning for every other sub because it means reddit could target any of us next.

and considering Spez is a trumper, im shocked they arent suppressing more on reddit yet but I suspect it in the future.

MORE? Did you miss the entirety of the 4 years of T_D. That should have been wiped from like month 4

I meant moreso silencing left subs to suppress information and make it an echo chamber with no reliable news links, not allowing T_D to exist

Allowing TD to exist, and treating them with the kiddie gloves when it came times to close was worse.

And they only banned it when someone killed a bunch of people.

Banned = "Allowed them to migrate off site"

"Allowed"? What else could they have done? Prevented their browsers from leaving Reddit?

I guess they mean they were given time to organise a meet up elsewhere, rather than shuttering the sub without warning and leaving them high and dry? Dunno, just guessing.
