The 1989 photo of a lone protestor blocking a tank convoy near Tiananmen Square in Beijing was also repeatedly posted on Reddit. Known as the "Tank Man" photo, it became a symbol for student protestors rallying for freedom of speech and freedom of press in China.

Fear of Chinese censorship and propaganda is still a concern among Reddit users. About a month after the Tank Man photo became Reddit's most upvoted post of the year, Redditors became paranoid that trolls were flooding the site with pro-China comments and posts.

“Ironically, our freedom of press and an open internet is being exploited by an adversary to subvert democracy," one Reddit user told BuzzFeed.

But as the Verge reported, Spotify, Epic Games, and Snap have all received funding from Tencent. None have had issues with censorship. Epic Games, unlike Blizzard, even pledged to not ban players for supporting Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests.

"Redditors have never shied away from discussing the tough issues, and the community turned out for it in 2019," Reddit staff said in an end-of-year round up post, adding a cheeky note that the top was was "uncensored by us overlords."
