Summary
Reddit is removing posts linking to Luigi Mangione’s manifesto, citing its longstanding policy against content related to violent acts.
The manifesto, tied to the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has sparked online fascination and debate.
While Reddit allows discussion of the manifesto within its rules, posts linking to its full text—shared on Substack by journalist Ken Klippenstein—are being removed, angering users.
Critics accuse Reddit of selective moderation, as some sympathize with Mangione’s frustrations over the U.S. healthcare system, which has come under renewed scrutiny after the incident.
Spaz is worried that people give enough of a shit about him to target him. No one cares about Spez. He runs an internet forum. He has weird dystopian power fantasies where he owns slaves. The dude is a joke.

No he isn’t.
Let’s not act like bunch of idiots. It’s all about money. If advertisers see posts they don’t like, do you think they want to see their brand next to a post about Luigi?
WE CANNOT BE THIS STUPID. It’s how they win. You might be making that comment as a gag or joke, but many clearly aren’t reading it as such. The answer is ALWAYS money.
You are correct, but the rest of their comment is sadly true.
