Reddit Shuts Down Forum On Trump Assassination Attempt, Raises Concerns Over Censorship

Reddit has taken down a forum dedicated to investigating the July 13 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, sparking debates about censorship. The “Thomas Crooks” subreddit, which focused on the would-be assassin and the circumstances surrounding the attack in Butler, Pennsylvania, had become a popular place for users to share information and ask critical questions about the event.

Reddit cited violations of its “violent content” policy as the reason for the ban but failed to provide specific examples of what content led to the shutdown. This lack of transparency has led many to speculate whether the real motivation is to suppress open discussion about the assassination attempt.

Trump’s reaction — standing victorious with his fist in the air — has become an iconic image of his resilience, but it seems Big Tech is working overtime to suppress this narrative.

This is not an isolated incident. Google removed search suggestions related to the assassination attempt, and Facebook wrongly flagged images of Trump’s defiant gesture as AI-generated. Both companies later corrected their actions, but the pattern of silencing stories related to the event raises serious concerns.

Many are questioning whether these tech platforms are concerned with violent content or if they are deliberately suppressing information that could energize Trump’s supporters. What are they trying to hide? The unanswered questions surrounding the attempt on Trump’s life only deepen the suspicion that something bigger is at play.
