this vid is about the chinese media actually acknowledging it happened. guess the ones behind the decision to do it are now history.
edit: So the story behind the delete thing, as told by a mod: a guy created multiple account and posted "normal" pictures and gif in order to gain a certain amount of points and then started posting extremely abusing comments and gif. The mod tracked 5 accounts made the same day, including the one that posted the Tienanmen one and deleted them all, thus deleting the posts and comments as well.
I suggested a little more transparency as to why a post is deleted, something like locking it in view only with a banner explaining the situation in place of the offensive image (especially for things that managed to escape the new user submitted), but the way the system works make it impossible when deleting a user.

They showed the highest level of restraint. You know after they drove tanks into the middle of a protest.
UltraBooster
And yet people still try to make our country more like China and Russia... what could go wrong
silm
Heh, why would you need a tank? In America police would have shot him many times over, before he can start climbing military equipment.
jellybeandaddyjl
Imgur took down another post earlier today related to military atrocity similar, they sure like to ignore stuff like this for sure...
IIBatmanIIDeleted
Imgur, is funded by china capitalist.... So.... It ll be deleted soon....

Anyone remember when the USA government killed people during Vietnam War protests?
Iatesomecoffeecups
That was a completely different type of protesting, but it is still wrong to kill protesters unless they are trying to rape or kill people.

Eff China, they literally have concentration camps setup and running there right now.
semiAnonymousMe
Unfortunately, so does America at this point. Dark times.

Why is this post blank?
Shoutrr
it's either john cena or drax
Affablesea9917
The highest degree of restraint is not running over one non-violent guy with a tank?
TGWeaver
Have the posts *actually* been deleted or is this a "Facebook is deleting images of the American flag because it OFFENDS people!" type thing
MrJwinkyface
Is it really being deleted? Or is this like the prayer/flag post on Facebook....

Where the fuck would all these idiots from the Internet get tanks??
skelitor120
Ironically, the US gov't probably wouldn't cover it up. People show up, people die, and they'll let everyone bawl and complain on --

-- social media because they won't care either way

What is this "massacre" you are lying to me about?
JapAnus
I noticed it got deleted as well. Also fuck communism
Bonsaipanda
Don't confuse communism with fascist totalitarianism.
Praseodymi
The protesters included many communists against the market reforms of Deng Xiaoping and his government.
TheHorseShesElbowDeepIn
It is nice though when a soldier hesitates when ordered to drive over protesters.
Bystandr
It was nice some of them hesitated. In the end it was a massacre. I heard they had to pile and burn bodies as there were so many
Alavar
Regardless of how hard its drilled into them they are cogs in the government machine. It's hard to drive out humanity.
Rifneno
Sadly, psychological studies say the exact opposite. It's horrifyingly easy.
misterhamtastic
Until ordered to kill protesters in droves.
frontaldorsal
They lynched police and military for weeks. Try that anywhere and see what happens. Also this is june 5, tanks leaving the square.

Disgusting. What happened, I mean. Not the pictures. They are disturbing, but...Jesus, humanity can do some fucked up shit, man.
CapedPersuaderJ
I know a woman who was in colllege there through this time. One of the cooler stories was that during one class, the students started>>
CapedPersuaderJ
talking about skipping class to join a protest on the square. Their professor stopped them, saying "any student found skipping to protest>>
CapedPersuaderJ
can be arrested and jailed. You will not skip. ... Today's lesson is a field trip to Tiananmen Square. I'll be leading the class."
PartTimeViking
Soooooo, the professor allowed them to go to the square, by using the "it's a field trip" angle?
CapedPersuaderJ
Yes. They got the extra buffer and If anything happened he would take the fall. Nothing happened, as far as I know.
TheNudeJumper
I had a old teacher once tell me to spit my gum into her hand. That was pretty cool I guess.
PartTimeViking
Even today, that's a pretty ballsy move

How do you see a video being deleted?
Shoutrr
click on a post, if the comments don't load, it mean it's in the process of being deleted, you refresh -> post not found page.

Wow
ThePastmaster
I had a weird one like that yesterday. It was about the Titanic and when poof, gone. No clue why. Maybe OP killed it.
Rifneno
=/ It's possible the OP deleted it, but I'm not inclined to give imgur mods the benefit of the doubt...

Shoutrr
it's not the same post. The real story (got it from a mod) is that the user account was deleted for multiple abuses, so the posts too)
RigoryMorty
It was all over front page a few weeks ago during the anniversary and none were deleted.
Shoutrr
yes, it's a possibility, but a weird one considering it had 1300+ points
Corrodias
And since Imgur moderation is entirely opaque, by design - that is, we can't tell which happened - benefit of the doubt is not deserved.
Shoutrr
see edit
Corrodias
Now that's a believable and sympathizable scenario. A little explanation - even unverifiable by us - goes a long way toward good will.
