I see this as pretty common practice now on any politicized high number sub, if the top comment is contrary to the propaganda dialog on certain topics, the posts vanish and only sometimes with a flag.

It is a private for profit business with a purpose like any other, it is now functioning as publication and there is some message and dialog control and with dual sources other publishers-sites and the users and the middle, reddit, has the right to control both sides of the input and outputs.

As long as the isp provider also co-operates, and search engines, and........
