I've never said that every detail in the case should be posted on worldnews.

Yet you're acting like there's a conspiracy that there isn't more Ghislaine Maxwell content on worldnews.

The reason there isn't any, is because it was bullshit from the start. There are much more appropriate subreddits to post that in.

The censorship was widely reported this morning in r/conspiracy. Yes, reddit moderators are actively censoring news of the trial, along with both facebook and twitter. This makes them a publisher and not a platform, and thus section 230 of the Communications Decency Act no longer applies to them, and they are in gross violation of the laws protecting them from prosecution or liability. This is what it looks like to dig your own grave.

I'd say an international paedophile ring with many suspects and victims from multiple counties is pretty much exactly what world news is there to cover.
