The /r/UFOs subreddit have suffered several cases of censorship by moderators who have blocked keywords for recent topics such as “Brazil”, “Pentagon,” or “Navy”.
2020 has been a strange year even for UFO fans. During this quarantine period, both the Pentagon and the U.S. Navy revealed material that points to the possible existence of aliens. Those who want to discuss these events can do so in places like the /r/UFOs Subreddit, or at least you would think so.
It turns out that some of the moderators on the subreddit blocked a series of keywords that referred to recent events, so posts that included “Pentagon” or “Navy” were immediately rejected.
This ban was not limited to revelations offered by the United States government almost a month ago, but also more recent publications that spoke about the alleged alien sightings that occurred in Magé, Brazil, were being censored.
A user named monaizin began to question the disappearance of posts and comments about the sightings in Brazil as this was, for a short while, a hot topic on the subreddit. But out of nowhere, people simply stopped mentioning it. Even for some of the moderators, the censorship cases were unexpected.
VICE reports:
lookout for new moderators willing to uphold community standards and not censor any theory related to UFOs.
