2019-02-11 | Reddit gets a $150 million investment from Tencent and users are posting memes to mock the deal - The Verge

'Reddit has received a $150 million investment from Tencent, the Chinese tech giant behind WeChat and League of Legends, sparking fears of censorship from Reddit users. '

'The investment was first rumored last week, and led to Reddit users posting photos and memes banned in China in protest of Tencent’s involvement. '

'Spotify, Epic Games, and Snap have all received investments from Tencent, and none have seen the censorship that Reddit users fear. '

'Users of Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, who log onto their Chinese accounts from outside the country, have seen their posts taken down. '

'But so far, other US companies with Chinese investment haven’t been subject to the country’s censorship. '
