    The linked article says they could not confirm the genuineness of the email. Is there any confirmation that this is real? I did a bit of searching and several Indian sites are reporting on it, but they all seem to be reporting about the outrageous email going viral, not checking the source.

        I got permabanned on there for saying child abusers should get beaten the same way they beat kids. The reason given for the ban was “promotes violence”, I appealed the ban and their response was “we don’t want people promoting child abuse, do not contact us anymore”. I don’t know if some admin was having a bad day or just illiterate but there are some power tripping mods and admins on there that will ban and remove for literally no good reason. The fact that they accused me of promoting child abuse when I was saying the complete opposite was pure trolling.

      Maybe it’s taken down on the basis it’s a private email including multiple identifiable names and doxs those involved.

      Even the to field is visible with multiple identifiable.

      Why is this downvoted? If it’s true it’s a valid criticism, and if it’s false, I couldn’t find a mention of anonymity either.

        because it’s not valid criticism. no one is complaining about the context of the survey it’s about Reddit suppressing a story on the whims of corporate moderators.

      r/India is a propaganda sub and you are not allowed to post anything that even remotely criticizes the government or points out social issues because it’s against their subreddit rules. You may only post praise and admiration. You are also allowed, or welcomed rather, to shit on any other country.

        Modi has a troll army, you can find them all over the internet. They are a lot like the MAGA cultists.

        Have you even seen r/india? It’s the inverse of what you have written. Criticising the govt is the rule there, in fact, there was a whole subreddit called r/indiadiscussion originally dedicated for meta linking of why people got banned from r/india. (r/indiadiscussion isn’t meta only anymore but if one trawls through the old posts, assuming they aren’t deleted, one can see the breadth of bans from r/india)

        It’s r/indiaspeaks that was originally formed as a free speech bastion that turned rightwing because the main sub was staunchly on the opposite side of the spectrum(and loved to use the banhammer).

        I don’t think I can link usernames here but a notorious powermod of r/india used to moderate r/worldnews as well and banning from once meant ban from the other.

        This is simply false. Yes, r/India is a propaganda sub but it’s very much anti-modi and people criticize the government all the time. r/indispeaks is very much pro-modi. I avoid both these subreddits.
