Case 1

Original post

Moderator carrotcypher says “removed for paywall.” When asked about which rule this breaks, receives no response. The post is then locked.

Case 2

Original post

Same as the first, except this time there is no paywall - the link is to a freely accessible advocate.com page.

It is censored with no explanation.

Case 3

Original post

Same as Case 2, moderators censor the post and leave no explanation.

Case 4

Original post

This one is finally given a removal reason: a rule that does not exist in the sidebar, and seems to have nothing to do with the post (“Your post has been removed for being too specific to a company or single product.”)

But in a censored comment, the OP of the post says they received a different removal reason:

Holy shit I'm banned for 30 days for "conspiracy spreading". This sub is cooked

This time, other people notice the censorship and the nonsensical nature of the official removal reason.

Since this removal, there has been no further post of this news in r/privacy. Sources tell me the moderators refuse to explain their decision.

      You got no hands. Sure, most can’t read what you “deleted” but if you think you actually deleted where it counts…I don’t know what to tell you.

        If you’re referring to using a services that overwrites your comment history, yes, I used one and checked to see if they were actually overwritten.

          You’re talking about what reddit shows. I’m talking about it’s record database. History never gets deleted.

          Let’s just say reddit actually does delete its own database (even though we know better). The NSA doesn’t delete *it’s copy.

          Holds out a little box to you.

          Here’s a dumdum kid!

          Doesn’t delete it from Reddit’s servers unfortunately. All you’ve done is prevented people who might have been interested in your answers to not discover them anymore. And maybe the odd occasional bot that slips through the cracks
