I know you guys try to keep this on meanwhile on reddit but I feel this needs attentionbecause this will sway so many people's opinions on the issue.
There are so many people that read the top comment and move on and feel they have a good understanding of the issue.

It was only a matter a time before they realized how effective reddit is at harboring support for specific causes that the public deems important. After cyber security acts like SOPA, PIPA, etc. failed to pass and reddit was attributed to the spread of information and educating the masses on the issue at hand, as well as being seen as responsible for urging the masses to call their representatives, they became more determined to not allow that to happen again.
The TPP is far too important for the corporate elite for them to allow Reddit and the internet brigade to affect the outcome, so censorship, distorted narratives, and media distractions are their go-to prevention techniques to keep the masses uninformed and complacent.

That is crazy. I remember how effective reddit was at SOPA and shit but now barely a blip about the TPP. Wtf? I remember posts denouncing the TPP when they started the ball rolling on it. This is sad. I hope voat can end up carrying the same kind of momentum. Swartz has to be rolling over in his grave right now.

Well tbh the kids of reddit care a lot more about downloading their pirated movies and watching their out of region Netflix (SOPA) then about some manufacturing blue collar jobs. Remember, the kids of reddit all are above working a real manufacturing job....

AFAIK, isn't some part of the TPP about the internet regulations?

Yes, there's a chapter about it.
