I don't agree.
Instead, I think this is genuinely important. All platforms aren't slashdot and on places like reddit political censorship is very real, in part done by mods and in part enforced by the site itself.
After the bomb attacks by a Muslim group on Christians in Sri Lanka /r/worldnews, a subreddit with six times the number of subscribers that the New York Times has, had at one point deleted 57.5% of all comments and it temporarily reached above 60% before dropping to 38.3% as comments arrived. Most of the comments removed were uncontroversial and broke no rules; and many highly upvoted comments were deleted. Particularly interesting is that there were deletions of any mention of previous reddit censorship, and lack of media coverage.
/r/news has a rule that only one post about an event may be kept and the post the moderators allowed was one by Al Arabiya, a media company controlled by the Saudi State, broadcasting primarily in Arabic, which lacked many pertinent facts that were known at the time, such as that the victims were Christians or that the perpetrators were a Muslim group. It also, performed similar censorship in that thread.
