Google has informed that on March 23, any site they consider dirty, or something, will be forced to become private. I have no idea what their notion of such is, who the arbiter is, though I suspect who they will, and will not, target. If they, whoever they is, decide that a site is henceforth unacceptable, they will force it to private viewership. I have no illusions, whether the censors are government bureaucrats or leftist stooges working for the company (do they have any other?), my blog will probably be wiped. We'll see, just letting you know.
If I had the mojo, I would wrap up my blog and take it elsewhere. Would for other reasons anyway. The truth is, conservatives are not really welcome anywhere. So I am not sure that would help. A new set of bureaucrats to hassle with, a new set of complaints trying to take my blog off. Actually, finally, it seems that complaints no longer endanger my site every six to eighteen months. Yes, I went through lockouts, shutdowns, the inability to post comments, all kinds of crap. It's been a while now. Still, looks like they are using the government to help them force some things off the web. I solidly expect to be among those. Not much to do about it. Hey, your tax dollars are finally doing something. I guess we will see.
Just giving you fair warning, that I have received veiled threats, and that March 23 may be the day the blog dies.
I thought they were talking about porn, not politics. So, unless you have a bunch of porn hiding in the deep ancient recesses of your blog you may not have anything to worry about, but you never know. I have posted the occasional nude doodle on my blog. I used to host some of my photos through photobucket and one one of my nudes was 'banned' :-). Such a benign little drawing it was too. You never know what folks find offensive.
ReplyDeleteThere is Wordpress ..
I don't do porn. Some of the music videos might be enough of a reason to ban though. Nah, I had a heck of a time when I was posting as a co-author in a little fellowship on Wordpress. If anything, they are actually worse about things than even Google. And that was before government involvement.
ReplyDeleteI tend to piss lefties right the heck off, they complain, and I run into all sorts of trouble. Wordpress isn't a viable solution.
I was mostly just pulling your leg there…
ReplyDeleteAnywho, it seems you are feeling better, at least physically?
Yeah, well, it's a long leg. I don't always notice.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, better. It's more of plain, though edges toward good. I won't complain compared to the last little bit. Won't even complain too much about that. Would you believe as bad as it has been is better than it ever was for the first 20-some years? And the first 10-15 years was truly hell. The rest of my body hadn't caught up to my heart, and so would overextent perpetually. Then again, with people pushing me, believing it was depression... I still think they knew it was the heart and were just trying to kill me or push me so hard I did it for them.
That's what you get when working with a caring government that, by all rights, owes you. I think pensioners are going to find this out too.
