This is a really great question I wish we'd actually get an answer to. It's news so why not go there? I suppose it could fall under the rule against politics in /r/news, but at least tell someone that when you remove their post.
Anything removed should require an explanation and the specific rule that was violated.

Transparency and Reddit are not ideas that go together.

Does anyone knows why reddit is going hard on TPP?

Reddit has business interests and advertisers to support/adhere to.

Yes. Reddit is a corporate shill, in website form.

Which sucks because there needs to be actual better coverage of this whole possibly in a major extinction thing. It's no secret that we are losing a lot of species right now on earth, and to me the most important being the honey bee. If honeybees die, the world is probably fucked. People don't understand the value those little creatures have to this planet, but we have the technology to pollinate every single thing on this planet like bees just do. 30% of food crops, nearly 90% of wild plants. Their impact would be felt through deaths of many many species of life.

Reddit's removal of TPP related news was one of my biggest grievances with them. Seeing the opposite happen here speaks volumes about this site and where it's values lie.

But are any of us really shocked? Reddit has been actively removing anything TPP related for MONTHS now. Would hate for the masses to get wind of what capitol hill is up to. But I guess thats what happens when a military base monopolizes an entire website.
Disgusting. Deplorable. And I'm glad we have voat.

i don't actually understand why they are censoring it
[–] Noglovenolove 0 points 11 points 11 points (+11|-0) ago
To the extent and in the manner they are doing it, the only logical conclusion is the mods have somehow sold out to those that want TPP passed. I don't know if that means money exchanged hands or what, but people know big sub mods have real media power and they are utilizing that fact.

What's sad is that Reddit was the place where I learned about these things because they were not in the news! If it hadn't been for Reddit, I might never have learned about SOPA.

It's the circle of life.
I feel the same way about Vice News

Kind of an out of the loop question here, why is the discussion about TPP banned in Reddit? I've known for a long time that it was banned, but it's just now that I've wondered why it should be. "Politics", I'm guessing?
