Reddit Quarantines Trump-Loving Subreddit The_Donald After Calls For Violence Against Police
INQUISITR ^

Posted on 06/26/2019 11:09:18 AM PDT by bryan999

Reddit has moved to quarantine the Donald Trump-loving subreddit r/The_Donald after a spate of messages calling for politically fueled violence.

The subreddit, which has been promoted as the largest online community for supporters of President Trump, had seen a surge in posts regarding the recent political standoff in Oregon, which has been marked with tensions and threats of violence. Many of the posts and statements from users made threats against police officers, some vague and others direct.

Those who tried to access r/The_Donald were met with a message saying the subreddit had been quarantined for these threats of violence against police officers. In Reddit parlance, a quarantine means that site administrators have deemed content there to be “extremely offensive or upsetting.” The purpose of a quarantine is to prevent the community from accidentally being seen by the average person browsing the site, and requires members to have some level of verification in order to use the subreddit.

“This community is quarantined,” the message read. “It is restricted due to significant issues with reporting and addressing violations of the Reddit Content Policy. Most recently the violations have included threats of violence against police and public officials.”

Meanwhile,antifa is free to call for violence 24/7, and even act on it without any consequences whatsoever.

I agree. The left are experts at playing the game of devious and deception.

How queer. On Facebook there were calls by Leftist latinuhs to wear sloganed t-shirts and interfere with any attempted detention of illegal aliens by ICE. That interference should sounded like calls for violence against people enforcing the law to me.

For sure. I don't believe there are any Trump supporters who are in favor of killing cops.

Not believing Civil War 2 is on the horizon is a hell of a fantasy.

Always ask Qui bono.

OR governor would seem to benefit the most. He wouldn’t get his hands dirty first or second hand of course, but they all have nutty acolytes.

“Gun crazed ecstatics”?
LOL.
Autocorrect is starting to sound weirdly prescient.

It would be interesting to ask Reddit to provide copies of those supposed posts and statement. I haven't seen any except in reports of what an Oregon state senator himself said. How is reporting his statement inappropriate?

I suspect we are just seeing the leading edge of a mass effort by left leaning technology companies to silence pro Trump and pro conservative voices.

Yep. And you can bet that reditt is well aware of it. Probably they are involved with planning it. The progressive leftists have been caught in the act before.

But it is even worse than that. The FBI itself was caught in the act at 8chan. It seems that they were not aware of the way 8chan works and they got caught in the act of bait posting about one of the latest shootings. It seems that the FBI have even been aware that the shooting was going to happen beforehand.

Everything you see is not as it seems. We are all being played.

Wow, infantile move. The_Donald is a fun and hilarious pro-Trump site. Someone at T_D just mentioned Reddit is backed by Chinese $ - not sure if true, but the stupid Reddit "quarantine" of The_Donald would then make sense. [Also => Foreign interference in our elections by authoritarian regime!!!!]

And yet /r/politics and /r/entertainment and /r/Chappotraphouse calls for violence on a daily basis along with hate speech against conservatives and they’re untouched.

Of course they did. They probably provided the suppressors for it. The FBI has been truly evil for decades.

Before the shooting starts, there is always a call to start shooting.

Slow slide into CWII
