Sites like Reddit, Facebook and Twitter can very easily become a political tool for manufacturing artificial consensus.

A large portion of the population do not go to specific news sites directly but instead rely on a link aggregator, Reddit being the most popular in the world (I believe).

If a political entity were to gain significant control of the censorship mechanisms, you would have a massive societal risk IMO. I have been following the censorship problem on Reddit for a while now and I think this has now become the case.

I can't say which entities are operating here, but it seems resoundingly clear something very inorganic is happening in Reddit's systems.
