Eye witnesses aren't reliable, to be frank, even in court they aren't weighed heavily as evidence. So, I don't mind moderating that sort of thing, especially if the live update might actually put more people in danger, or if it perpetuates a rumor. That being said, the Reddit mods on /r/news aren't moderating those comments...they are actually moderating legitimate news sources that were reporting possible ties to radical Islam or ISIS. We do know from the FBI he actually called 911 before the attack and pledged to ISIS, so that's not something you can dispute. We also know he was under investigation, at one time, by the FBI. Yet the Reddit mods have chosen to delete those comments or sources.
