Many popular Reddit pages have gone private today, protesting against what they believe to be censorship on the site. Subreddits ranging from r/Music to r/AmongUs have now become a private community due to their belief that the company is censoring mention of one of its employees, following the removal of an article mentioning former British political figure Aimee Knight (née Challenor) from the r/UKPolitics subreddit.
Over 200 subreddits have gone private as a result of Reddit’s alleged censorship, as communities with millions of followers have shuttered their doors for an indefinite period of time. When users attempt to visit one of these subreddits, they will instead be pointed to a message from user u/Blank-Cheque outlining the reasons for the protest.
