Listen, there are so many legitimate criticisms of Reddit, no one needs to make things up. This happens every year in June. Somebody posts about Tiananmen, some automod or real mod removes it, someone screams "Reddit" is censoring things.

There are tons of posts about Tiananmen that are still up after years. Tencent owns a small minority stake in Reddit.

Also tencent doesn't have "massive" investments in reddit, they invested 150 million USD when reddit was valued at a worth of 2-3 billion. So they have a less than 10% stake.
