Reddit has banned a forum that was dedicated to investigating the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, sparking accusations of censorship. The forum, named after would-be assassin Thomas Crooks, allowed users to share information and ask questions about the July 13 attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania. Crooks was killed by snipers, but the event left many questions unanswered.
Reddit claimed that the forum violated its rules on violent content, but no specific examples were provided. This decision has led many to speculate whether the forum’s ban was truly about violent content or an attempt to suppress discussion about a major event in Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Trump’s iconic moment — raising his fist in defiance after the attempt — has energized his supporters, but tech platforms appear to be limiting its visibility.
This is not the first instance of Big Tech suppressing information related to the attempt. Google faced criticism for removing search suggestions about the assassination, and Facebook falsely flagged images of Trump’s response as “AI-generated.” Both companies later adjusted their actions after public backlash.
With Reddit now joining the effort to limit discussions about the assassination attempt, the move raises more questions. Are these platforms genuinely concerned about “violent content,” or is there a deeper motive to hide the heroic way Trump handled the attack? The lack of transparency has only fueled further suspicions.
