Censorship is bad, and is often difficult to seek accountability for (because such attempts are themselves censored).

This community exists as a safe place to report on instances and patterns of censorship among pro-GME, pro-DRS, and financial transparency accounts/content.

RULE: Due to the unfortunate risk of escalating tensions, please limit content in this community to factual record. Please do not include commentary on presumed motivations, intentions, shillery, name-calling, etc. If such commentary is included in screenshots, it must be redacted out.

Wall Street On Parade is censored / banned on Reddit (wallstreetonparade.com)

This is not new information, apparently it has been this way for quite a long time. It isn't clear exactly when this policy was implemented by Reddit.

This recent comment provides some information about this.

If for example you go on Reddit and try to post a link to wallstreetonparade.com, Reddit will give you a message that says:

Reddit doesn't allow links from wallstreetonparade.com: this domain was banned for shilling/vote cheating

whatever the fuck that means. Shilling/vote cheating? Okay Reddit.

I am sure this is honest and accurate and fair and was done with good intentions.

Surely there are no parties out there that are benefiting from the fact that a credible critic of Wall Street corruption is censored on a major social media platform.

It is insane that an entire website that repeatedly does great daily financial news with a populist slant is completely blacklisted on one of the major social networks - especially considering it's a social network which posits itself as populist itself.

Oh wow, I actually wasn't aware of this! I found out about wsop from Reddit so it certainly happened in the last few years.

Wild that it's banned at that level!
