Original post

This action was taken under an unannounced rule that can label and censor criticism of anyone or anything with ā€œFUD.ā€

Youā€™ll find itā€™s only used to protect the rich and powerful, though.

Unable to simply delete the post, the moderators scrubbed comments from anyone who named and shamed CEO James Dolan, but allowed his supporters to remain uncensored.

James Dolan is a thin-skinned billionaire crybaby who runs Madison Square Garden like itā€™s his own little surveillance state. The fact that he's using facial recognition tech to ban peopleā€”not for crimes, not for safety concernsā€”but for criticizing him is some straight-up dictator energy.........This isnā€™t just petty. Itā€™s dangerous. Itā€™s the kind of fascist-lite garbage weā€™ve been warning about for years: once the powerful get their hands on surveillance tools, they will abuse them to silence dissent. Dolan just doesn't care who sees it. Heā€™s too arrogant, too insecure, and too rich to be held accountable.

The madison square garden ceo, james dolan, is the biggest thin-skinned pussy I have ever read about. Someone who band an individual due to a critical remark they made and put on a shirt? Pathetic lol.

Criticism of basically anyone rich or powerful was removed.

Criticism of Tucker Carlson was removed.

    I think Reddit has strong anti witch hunt rules after the whole Boston bomber fiasco. Canā€™t fault them for going for ā€žblast it from the orbitā€ approach, they couldnā€™t even keep Reddit profitable without resorting to hosting porn and you want them to have nuance in moderation.

        I meant they canā€™t differentiate between them because thereā€™s too many reports to go through probably. Reddit relies on volunteers because it canā€™t afford to employ enough people to moderate it for real.
