My friend told me to just post the raw data and let it speak for itself
He said, 'They can't censor facts, Claire.' So I posted a chart on a big platform showing the exact number of posts removed from a subreddit over a month. It was a simple image with no text. The post got flagged for 'sharing private data' and my account got a warning. The data was all from public logs. Has anyone else had a plain chart or graph get taken down like that?

Yeah the whole "they can't censor facts" idea is pretty naive. A chart isn't just data, it's a message. If you post a chart about removed posts, you're making a statement about moderation being unfair. Platforms see that as stirring up drama, not sharing neutral facts. They'll always find a reason, like "private data," to take down stuff that criticizes how they run things.

You're right that charts send a message, but the "private data" reason isn't always a fake excuse. If a chart shows exact usernames or numbers tied to specific accounts, that can actually break site rules. It's like posting someone's call log without asking. A truly neutral chart would use totals without pointing at individual people, but those are harder to make and often less interesting to share.
