Reddit bans large leftist subreddit r/TheDeprogram for gloating about the death of a Nazi
Reply in thread
I hope it doesn't surprise anyone it was banned. But let's not pretend its because they were toxic. The only reason Reddit has ever pumped the breaks on a toxic community that wasn't politically left is when they were dragged over the coals in the mainstream news about it and it threatened to hurt their advertising revenue.
TheDeprogram's ban is political censorship. If you don't embrace late-stage capitalism, it is not safe to build a community on Reddit.

Even the right-wing reviewers who hate the premise admit it's a well written film in the vein of heist thrillers.
It's a really good movie. Not particularly useful if you actually want to destroy something - they were careful to get a consultant to make sure they didn't break any laws or create liability for themselves or the studio. If you didn't see it in theatre, you missed out! I'm really glad the feds are wringing their hooves over it, it deserved much better marketing. It is destined to become a cult classic.

Soliciting Feedback for Improvements to the Media Bias Fact Checker Bot
Who fact-checks the fact-checkers? Fact-checking is an essential tool in fighting the waves of fake news polluting the public discourse. But if that fact-checking is partisan, then it only acerbates the problem of people divided on the basics of a shared reality.
This is why a consortium of fact-checking institutions have joined together to form the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), and laid out a code of principles. You can find a list of signatories as well as vetted organizations on their website.
MBFC is not a signatory to the IFCN code of principles. As a partisan organization, it violates the standards that journalists have recognized as essential to restoring trust in the veracity of the news. I've spoken with @[email protected] about this issue, and his response has been that he will continue to use his tool despite its flaws until something better materializes because the API is free and easy to use. This is like searching for a lost wallet far from where you lost it because the light from the nearby street lamp is better. He is motivated to disregard the harm he is doing to ![email protected], because he doesn't want to pay for the work of actual fact-checkers, and has little regard for the many voices who have spoken out against it in his community.
By giving MBFC another platform to increase its exposure, you are repeating his mistake. Partisan fact-checking sites are worse than no fact-checking at all. Just like how the proliferation of fake news undermines the authority of journalism, the growing popularity of a fact-checking site by a political hack like Dave M. Van Zandt undermines the authority of non-partisan fact-checking institutions in the public consciousness.

Donald Trump's Israel Intel Leak Under Scrutiny After Hamas Attack
"In the spring of 2016, no issue was more important to Benjamin Netanyahu than Donald Trump winning the White House."
With so much on the line, Netanyahu appears to have made a drastic decision. He would dispatch a discreet, highly trusted aide, armed with critical intelligence, to covertly “intervene” in the US election to help put his man Trump in the White House. Based on the FBI documents, the intelligence appears to have consisted of advance knowledge of Russia’s hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and it may have included confidential details from the stolen e-mails. It was likely obtained by Israeli eavesdropping operations that were targeting secret Russian communications, as well as those of WikiLeaks.
