You should have posted to /r/news and taken the pictures the same amount of time after posting.

I don't know much about TPP to be quite honest, but why are mods removing and censoring it?

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.

They simply say, "it's politics".

They don't mention that just about everything is r/news is politics, and that they can just remove anything they want under this rule. It's not the real reason they are deleting the post.

Transparency and Reddit are not ideas that go together.

discussing illegal activities.

Homsexuality is illegal in many places...

Criticizing governments is illegal in many places...

Surprisingly (or not?) it hasn't been deleted from /r/canada.

Edit: Also, that thread doesn't show when searching for "tpp" but does when searching "canada tpp"

Edit1: This thread is still going in /r/politics

Reddit seems nice, but it's a significant undercurrent of censorship.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think that is really fair since Reddit's was posted an hour before and Voat's was posted 14 hours before.

Of course if you go look now you will notice that Reddit's post has over 1,500 upvotes while on Voat it has 992.

Now I see. Thanks for the clarification. I don't really use Reddit.
