Description
Here’s a brief rundown of what is alleged with links:
* A moderator of [r/ukpolitics linked to an article from the Spectator](https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/mbbm2c/welcome_back_subreddit_statement/), which “contained a three-word mention, in passing, of a minor British public figure, expelled from both the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party” (not knowing this was a Reddit admin)
* The moderator was permanently suspended for “doxxing”
* That modteam later discovered that Reddit had hired this individual from the article, and therefore considered it doxxing.
* That modteam shutdown their subreddit in protest which got a lot of attention and eventually resulted in the unbanning of the moderator.
* Reddit has allegedly banned people and removed links sitewide regarding this matter.
* [Reddit responded](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/mbqgx2/a_clarification_on_actioning_and_employee_names/) by [allegedly lying about an automated process removing a link](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/mbqgx2/a_clarification_on_actioning_and_employee_names/grzjz5f/) to hide the fact that an admin removed it manually. Be sure to read the comments. They’re illuminating.

That’s bad enough, but it gets worse.
* This admin is allegedly married to a literal, self-admitted pedophile who writes sex stories about kids. ([tweet](https://i.imgur.com/j2GXHtW.jpg))
* This admin allegedly hired her father as elections agent after he was charged for holding a 10 year old girl captive in his “torture den” where he electrocuted her while playing out his sadomasochistic fantasies (“subjected the child to a campaign of abuse which included tying her from a beam, whipping her and giving her electric shocks.”). He was later convicted and sentenced to 20 years. Please forgive me not linking or naming this person to avoid my account’s termination.
* This admin started off as just a volunteer moderator for child/teen-focused subreddits before becoming a Reddit employee.
—————————-
Since this has all gone down, subreddits across the site have gone private to demand the Reddit admins address the issue of allegedly hiring and protecting a pedophile sympathizer and enabler while abusing their own power to hide this fact.

**Where do we go from here?**
We do not plan to go private just yet as the need for great GunDeals in such a tumultuous timeline is needed.
We may be starting a backup Discord soon in case we have a similar censorship situation like what recently occurred over in /r/ukpolitics.
Please feel free to give your feedback in this thread and upvote comments that represent your feelings on the matter. We will read every comment.
Thank you.
**tl;dr** It’s not long, read it.
