It's newsworthy for Yahoo, Vice, The Guardian, MSN, Business Insider, but I guess it doesn't meet the rigorous journalistic standards of...a news or politics subreddit...

worldnews mods permanently banned me for posting this story

This is probably coming down from the admins then.

This has got to be coming from the reddit admins. And my guess is that there's something above them calling the shots too.

I'll also just leave this completely unrelated link here .
