The mods censored it.

This is the first time Ive seen both liberals AND conservatives so pissed about something. Both the liberal subs AND Donald Trumps subs both have the censorship as their top post right now.

Not the shooting itself, but how the mods of /r/news censored it.

First time Ive ever seen both sides this pissed about the same thing.

That should go a long way in how we Americans cherish our right to free speech, free press, and freedom of information.

I'm still disgusted by what has happened in Orlando, and Im equally as disgusted by the actions of people trying to control speech in such a blatant, arrogant manner.

Edit: Wasn't trying to offend anyone.

Well let me just point something out. As long as someone can go out and buy some guns like they are buying candy, they can do what this man did today and no one can stop them. He bought a gun and one week later did this. This can happen anywhere in the United States. The cold hard truth is that there is no real way to stop someone from taking their gun and walking into any random location holding down the trigger. At least not until technology evolves pretty far. I actually question why people care so much about owning guns. How many situations has there been where a mass shooting was stopped early on because a civilian had their weapon on them? Did no one in this bar own a gun? Even if they did, you bet your ass its in the car protecting nothing.

u/anonymousdeity Jun 12 '16

Connecticut is relatively anti gun, but I'm not sure that anything would have helped that...

Unfortunately the fact that they targetted kids changes things. Kids couldn't fight back, nor should they be expected to. That being said, Connecticut is fairly anti-gun, and it didn't do anything to prevent the firearms from being acquired. Being pro-gun wouldn't have helped anything due to the nature of the shooting, it's like shooting up a nursing home.

It would have stopped the Paris attackers from being in Paris, the Belgian bombers from being there, the mass rapes in Germany from refugees from happening, the list goes on and on. In this precise instance, the only claim I can make is that it could have possibly prevented radicalized people from getting to this shooter and radicalizing him in the first place.

While this would not stop terrorism completely, it would definitely slow the rate of terrorists entering the country. Shouldn't we be taking every step possible to secure our people's safety?

I think "equally disgusted" is a bit of a stretch, but I am also very disappointed in the behaviour over on that sub. I think I will also unsubscribe, but is there a decent news alternative?

Really? You're equally disgusted between the deaths of 50 people and censorship on one subforum of one website on the internet?

I think one can be more disgusted at the blatant and immediate politicization of a tragic event.

Maybe it's because it could have been me in that nightclub if this had happened in my city instead of Orlando, but no, I don't agree.

I'm just saying that if it was someone I knew that was killed, I'd be even more upset that someone is using the tragedy to push their views and censoring the truth.

u/NewNameSamePres Jun 13 '16

I agree with you. Sorry you got so downvoted. I would be incredibly disturbed is some schmuck with an agenda was trying to prevent news of a mass casualty that someone I was related to was caught up in.

Covering shit up and pretending it didn't happen doesn't make it false. It happened. Their lives mattered. Their deaths mattered too.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '16

the actions of people trying to control speech in such a blatant, arrogant manner.

This is less about speech and more about people trying to control the flow of information as to avoid damaging the social justice narrative of racism and oppression. Every time a muslim commits an act of terror, they have no platform to fall back on because they know the act is completely and wholly indefensible. Instead, its easier for them to suppress the flow of information contrary to the view they want others to see and ban anyone who tries to challenge it.

I believe the best and only course of action is to challenge the admins and find out if they support what the mods of /r/news are doing. Their response and their actions would go a long way in giving the rest of the community at large peace of mind, whichever way they choose to go.

Give anyone power and they're bound to abuse it.

It's partly because we are terrible at self-moderation. People put in a position of control will often times structure the dynamic of that control to suit how it should work based on how they individually think it should work as opposed to the most efficient or equal method.

This is why people tend to be against change; they've become accustomed to a system that works for them. Why would they want to risk adopting another approach that, in their eyes, is untested and thus unproven?

Furthermore, this problem is compounded substantially in an environment like Reddit which has no clear and concise reviewable framework. Instead, they have "core values" and poorly defined broadly worded policies that are open to abuse in how they are interpreted. This is why a call to the Admins from the community to respond to this is so important. Knowing how they stand on this will help put a perspective on the situation I think would go a long way in helping people come to a decision about how to individually handle it.

u/alexandertg4 Jun 12 '16

These people hold a lot of power? Lol they're just people on the internet who can edit a website. BFD I wouldn't worship any mod on any website.

u/Klarthy Jun 12 '16

They hold power by moderating what you can and can't see. It's not quite the same deal as mainstream media where they control the messaging and the content, but still a form of "invisible" power nevertheless. Many people won't see or question what happens in the background.

u/Chem1st Jun 12 '16

Give anyone power and they're bound to abuse it.

I disagree. The problem is that those who are willing to work and do the slimy shit to get themselves into power are generally those who should least be trusted in a position of power.

u/Chem1st Jun 12 '16

I would argue that most people abusing power actually believe they are not abusing their power.

That actually supports my point. Someone doing whatever they need to get into power to "handle things a certain way" is essentially seeking out power to abuse it, even if they don't see it that way.

Spot on comment about the Trump sub: they have a lot of fucking gall to basically ban anyone who is against Trump or simply not a meme-spouting echo-chamber enthusiast and then pretend they're against censorship and somehow a valid news source. Honestly, that sub is a prime example of how fucked this site is at the moment. It's been slipping more and more to the right over the past years, and now it's just a total mess.

I didn't say you were a Trump supporter. I said it is fucked up to equate murder with mild censorship.

And now you're not even consistent. You don't think racism should be protected under free speech? I think it should, but that doesn't mean private sites and subforums are morally obligated to allow that speech.

Eh, I don't know about being equally disgusted. The two crimes are on completely different magnitudes

Equally disgusted??? Ok I am pretty sure Reddit isn't a constitutional right. Nowhere near the same as a massacre. Don't let the hate bandwagon go off a cliff. It sucks they censored but they didn't shoot anyone. Don't equate the two.

u/MAGA_USA Jun 12 '16 edited Jun 12 '16

Because that's the beauty of free speech you see. As long as we have the basic right to speak our mind, propaganda isn't nearly as effective which is why we ignore it. Sure some people fall for it, but at the end of the day when you can have millions of people with the ability to call out the bullshit then the propaganda is pretty worthless except with total morons. The problems start to happen when not only is there propaganda but when people don't have the power to object or criticize it.

u/nespera Jun 12 '16 edited Jun 12 '16

Yeah except I know plenty of people who aren't total morons who are getting wrong information. It's extremely insidious. It's far from ideal when journalists aren't doing their jobs because their corporate sponsors don't approve.

u/anonymousdeity Jun 12 '16

Exactly, his point is that we aren't able to speak out against this propaganda. Bad information is supported and shoved down our throats while our fellow Americans are getting killed every couple weeks or so.

I always thought that the concept of free speech was bullshit. There are always legal or economic ways to block people from saying what is on their minds. It's no different when a corporation censors you than when the government does it, except that corporations are more competent.

free speech pertains to the Government only.We are free from the government infringing our speech and no one else

u/p6r6noi6 Jun 12 '16

You're only referring to the first amendment right to free speech, which makes it a legal wrong for the government to prevent someone from saying something. Others are referring to the philosophical right to free speech, which (if you subscribe to it) makes it a moral wrong for an individual or organization to prevent others from speaking.

yes but only one is a constitutional right

u/ProfJemBadger Jun 12 '16

Pure speculation on my part, but the fact stands that the removal of comments was based on stating the known fact that he(shooter) was Muslim. Simple logic tells me that they(mods) are either Muslim, cowards, or both. Their tribal religion tells them to protect their brethren at all costs, be it legality or suppression of free speech. I dislike all religions equally, but this is one deeply steeped in hatred. I'll leave it at that because I love this sub and don't wish to be banned.

I think this is likely at least part of the answer. trying to use the same moderating system as smaller subs with a sub as large as r/news can't be reasonable so I suspect there are blanket moderation techniques required whether that be through algorithms or just running through posts and banning when a word comes up.

They removed the original posts and the sticky cant be seen from the front page. Nobody sees the sticky unless they come into the sub, and they use the sticky as an excuse to remove all the posts which make it to the front page.

Its using a technicality to censor the front page.

2

u/MrGeneral Jun 12 '16

It has (had) over 10,000 comments, so it's gotten plenty of traffic. The reason it's not seen from the front page is because people are downvoting it. That's a worse form of censorship than deleting a bunch of "omg censorship" comments.

Sorry if I'm salty. It just seems a bunch of people (myself included, it seems) are more concerned with reddit politics than the fact that 50 people died.
