A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Why is that? Covering up the protests would be the opposite of drawing attention to it surely?
Streisand Effect, which historically is something the people of Reddit LOVE to enforce
My presumption is the kind of people who would notice that kind of thing are either OK with it or are already off of Reddit.
The fact that they would be obviously covering it up would be noticeable to people and would cause what they are trying to cover up to become more prominent in the news and on the site.
