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

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?

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.

Isn't reddit kind of Streisanding the TPP story with all the censorship? There are still lots of TPP articles that make it through and whenever they do, the comments are always about how such an important story is being suppressed.

Some seriously shady shit going on when they are blocking important news on a sub dedicated to fucking news

I know the thing we're supposed to notice is the number of upvotes one has compared to the other, but did anyone else notice how much cleaner and more legible the Voat post is?

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.
