r/worldnews censoring NSA-Israel posts

This post was on the front page! It had 3344 points, 1224 comments, at least two of which received gold and the mods reason for removing the post is "Already covered by other articles". Funny how that rule didn't apply with posts favoring airstrikes on Syria. WTF?

New Snowden leaks involving Israel are going to be released in the next couple weeks. They cannot massage them all.

This should be interesting. Let's see what latest atrocities and crimes against humanity Israel is guilty of.

A true conspiracy (theory) on reddit

I've seen it before. When the NSA stuff started leaking, I posted several comments on how it's likely that the NSA has placed agents as moderators on popular social sites (like Reddit for example) to try to control the conversation.

Given the revealed scope of their activities, they would be stupid not to.

All such comments were promptly removed. As will this one be in all liklihood.

We need a collaborative effort of all of us here at /r/conspiracy to expose /r/news and /r/worldnews . This is ridiculous. We need to fight back somehow

Just more proof, reddit was hijacked.... Such a shame, I joined reddit for the informed and open discussion.

Now that a big corporation, Conde Naste, owns reddit I think it's inevitable that it gets hijacked. When politics was removed from the front page it was a harbinger. It's a subreddit out of their control. Who knows what the mods are like there but the subscribers are fairly left and that didn't fly well with being on the front page. Same with atheism.

Band the mods

Banding is very different from banning. Ban = yes. Band = no

Who cares !! Our lives are been fucked and you bitch about a d man no wonder we are all slaves

Someone should just create the subreddit r/uncensored world news that automatically loads all the stories from news and then not censor the comments or take the articles down. Once enough people start going there then they will post directly to there instead.

I think r/POLITIC already aggregates all posts from r/newz r/politics and r/worldnews
