Reddit has banned a forum dedicated to investigating the July assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, igniting accusations of censorship. The forum, which focused on the would-be assassin Thomas Crooks, allowed users to discuss various aspects of the event, from security failures to the circumstances leading up to Crooks’ actions. The forum was popular, generating a high level of engagement before being removed.
Reddit claimed that the ban was due to “violent content” violations, but the platform did not provide specific examples of the offending posts. Many are now questioning whether this ban is truly about enforcing policies or if it’s part of a broader effort to hide crucial details about the attempt on Trump’s life. This event was historic — Trump, a sitting GOP nominee, survived an assassination attempt and, with his fist raised in defiance, rallied his supporters to “fight.”

Reddit’s decision mirrors actions taken by other major platforms. Google has been criticized for removing search suggestions related to the assassination, while Facebook falsely flagged images of Trump after the attack, alleging they were AI-generated. These actions have raised concerns about whether Big Tech is actively suppressing stories that could influence the 2024 election.
The question remains: why censor discussions about this momentous event? Trump’s supporters believe the censorship is aimed at preventing the public from learning about his resilience and the unanswered questions surrounding the attempt on his life. With Reddit joining the list of platforms silencing this conversation, the mystery only deepens.
