>Reddit is reportedly set to land a massive investment from a Chinese censorship powerhouse in order to keep the “Internet’s front page” rolling. Web-tech giant Tencent is expected to inject $210 million into the website as part of a Series D fundraising round, and depending on how much Reddit raises, the round is expected to push the company past a $3 billion valuation, according to TechCrunch.
>But the union between Tencent and Reddit is being challenged by a confused public, who are very much aware of the fact that Reddit is currently blocked in China, and has been for the past 90 days. As part of China’s notorious censorship regime, the Great Firewall of China, Tencent’s impending investment in the Silicon Valley company and what sort of influence it will gain at Reddit still remains unclear.
>As one of the main architects of the Great Firewall of China, which blocks access to selected foreign websites restricting people from accessing online content, Tencent’s new western venture has raised questions regarding Reddit’s future as users are fearing their beloved social website will inevitably be censored.
>“It is representative of the strange bedfellows that the interaction of the US and Chinese technology systems creates,” said Adam Segal, a cybersecurity expert at the Council on Foreign Relations. There is much bringing them together — money, people, and ideas. And there are serious political forces pulling them apart.”
>The deal has sparked a furious reaction on Reddit, as avid users take to the website to post photos exposing China and its firewall before the potential “censorship” starts.
Reddit is already Authoritarian Left to begin with. But this might make things go EVEN FURTHER
> Reddit just became the Communist front page of the internet. >just became >just Old news

What's this copypasta?
Matthew Stewart
it always amazed me how liberals would donate reddit gold and silver to each other even though its a company and they think it was some underground place that needed it. its probably some form of money laundering conde naste shit
Nathan Wright
Reddit will welcome their chunk overlords with welcome arms. Remember to shoot any reddifugees that try to cross into 4chin.
calling Tencent a censorship powerhouse is poor journalism. censorship comes from the various Chinese Ministries. Tencent might provide the infrastructure for the firewall but they aren't choosing to censor people, they are just following the commands. i get this might be a slim distinction for many, but the company shouldn't be called something it isn't. it would be like calling Amazon part of the CIA, just because AWS provides servers for the CIA.

The rats are fleeing. America is doomed.

based redditors are waking up to the chink menace.

They already became the communist front page when Chairman Pao took over.
>users are fearing their beloved social website will inevitably be censored >reddit isn't censored now um... this could be a massive redpill on the slippery slope of internet censorship though. censor something you don't like and you open the door to censorship of things that you do >inb4 >redditors have self awareness
Henry Myers
That wall of text is bannable here/gets removed immediately. OP's article explains EVERYTHING about Jow Forums removing it. Hiro or someone else took a payoff from China
Isaiah Jones
First they came for hate subreddits...
Hunter Ramirez
HAHAHAHAHAHA
THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN DOING THIS FOR FREE FOR YEARS
CHINA BTFO OF $210 MILLION

It amazes me how people don't see the Chinese as the scum they are
Henry Hughes
>oh no now we're getting censored like we've censored all those subreddits we don't like, how unfair!
Kevin Edwards
Well they try to censor it all
Juan Rogers
well now that thats settled stay out of china . stay out of the east in general. none of you like them just stay far away
Sebastian Johnson
isn't it banned because it's spam. it doesn't do what people think it does.
they've always been a group of corrupt leftwing dipshits that whored the site out to the biggest bidder. And moot/gookmoot probably do similar things. We've known this from at least 2014, which is whythey are always trying to shut itdown.
Caleb Nguyen
When was the last time you saw a chinese flag here?
Brayden Myers
based chinks ridding us of newfags forever. I don't expect t_d will last long, this might actually save cuckchan.
the wordfilter list has multiple tiers, on the surface it looks like a cute little dank meme spewing cooldude chanculture thing that changes a few words because hahaha so funny. Then there are words that get you warned. And words that get your post removed. And words that get you out right banned.
And have you ever notice this: if you fail the captcha on any other board and hit the back button, your post gets saved, but sometimes when you do that on pol it gets magically deleted? And you ever notice how sometimes captcha just magically fails even when you do it correctly? The same applies if you go over the character limit, which sometimes changes. gosh golly gee, so many coincidences. Its almost as if there is an effort to make it difficult to post fact/source filled information on pol.
Caleb Price
Reminder that chinks are jews on steroids and there's a billion of em. Its literally over for the white race.
That's what happen when you and your reddit friend spam that garbage all over the place for a whole month, retard, this shit doesn't work because very few mainlanders can use Jow Forums and even then the pasta wouldn't do shit to them unless they posted it on weibo or something.
Jeremiah Baker
nigger, it was a new meme, barely a week old and all of a sudden became banned text. There are little to no banned words on Jow Forums, but suddenly, out of the fucking blue, this Chinese text is banned. They got called out because they were banning people for using it, then backed off of banning users to posting it unless they spammed it all over the place. China paid off the site like it did with Reddit.
Luis Young
almost as if they could deny that hatred is quintessential to the human experience, and indeed very much to their experiences as humans, simply by suppressing expression of it on their platform with further expressions of it >b-but it's not hate if the thing you hate is hate itself, r-right?
Brody Long
I had times where linking news article resulted in my post being instantly wiped due to some ''error'' that made it so that I couldn't post the thread, literally never happens on others boards.
Jose Clark
They already censor their ass with ebin downvotes, at least now it's clear even for the retardest retard.
Noah Rivera
China is becoming the new jews in many ways. Reddit has long been fucked by jewish control. So in other words it’s a perfect marriage.
Eli Green
Does surprise me one bit. Anyone who has first hand experience with the Chinese knows they can be just as bad as kikes.
Yep. On top of that $210 million, they received hundreds of reddit gold on the daily basis already
What do they need all that money for? It's certainly not going to site improvements because it still looks and functions ugly as fuck. Even redditors hated the new design
What are they gonna censor plebbit it's already censored the only thing allowed on plebbit still is cuck porn now.
Dominic Kelly
>Chinese >Communist
Lol. The Chinks only care about the chinks. They dont give a fuck about the western lefts retarded ideas. They might support them to weaken the west from within though.

I saw Hong Kong the other day They can post here if they have Jow Forums Gold
Sebastian Gomez
business is not entrepreneurship
business is essentially communist, if you haven't read post-marx "economics" then you don't understand but you should know your enemy and take the time to listen to what they say
the self-made man is a capitalist, but big business is state capitalism i.e. communism
this is no surprise

Thanks me later
Blake Lee
After they did such a good job being good goyim for israel and democrats Of course china hired them!
Are you fucking retarded? Reread what I posted, then what you just fucking wrote.
Bentley Nelson
No! Not Reddit. Fuck!!!! First they start with r/fatpeoplehate then they quarantine the hotel threads. Now they strike a deal with China? You guys can shut on the Reddit all you like, but it used to be beautiful... Now they're being stripped of their identity. It's a sad day.
holy shit, that faggot is leaving this up because I pointed out the intent on why this gets removed with the Chinese payoff. what a sneaky fucking chink
Chase Davis
You mean a CIA front?

Most likely the Indian government. They want in so bad.

>Since Ohanian is a graduate of UVA, he jokingly claims a direct line to Thomas Jefferson. "I have a feeling the founding fathers would give a big look of disapproval at the effect of lobbying dollars on our elected officials," he says.
>Speaking of the founding fathers, I ask him what he thinks they would have thought of Reddit.
>"A bastion of free speech on the World Wide Web? I bet they would like it," he replies. It's the digital form of political pamplets.
>China invests in reddit >The first day this becomes news, there are "fuck china" threads and "tien an men square" and "winnie the pooh" pictures all over the front page >Now there isn't anything and any bad news stories about China are deleted Reap what you sow, plebbit
Why are they're seething over this? as if they'aren't communist and censorship powerhouse already.
Jonathan Butler
Nice reddit spacing
Mason Barnes

Evan King
that was spammed for months you retarded newfag nigger
Gavin James
It would be funny to “American slang” those chinkers until their minds melt. Maybe something like the Indian code talkers during Vietnam. Possibly Gullah-geechee or some Louisiana mumble mouth dialect. Speaking from experience, google voice and other AI voice to text programs have ZERO ability to translate redneck voice messages.
