I saw that you had been censored this morning on here. It’s utterly ridiculous that there is not a single place online where you can hold a conversation or debate of differing views without out the thought police checking in on behalf of the ministry of truth.

It is nothing to do with safety of children. As ever every time these inept in Labour Party balls up, which is all the time, they get (or Starmer gets) more twisted. Says it all and people should be more awake by now.

Stop using Google as a search engine, use private ones such as Startpage, Duck duck - there are others.

Julie Preece's avatar

I have used duck duck since it started. The other lot are snitchers and money grabbers

Quack Quack 😂😂😂

Im finding Google to be really hard to get away from as they intercept all the other browsers.I will contact Apple Support to help me kick Google off my leg.

A.I. is learning target selection….

FUCKTARDATION the next Plandemic compliments of A.I. Resurgent Subliminal Messaging… Just ask any A.I., its how they are taught to learn and in a sensory deprivation environment (game room, chat roo, etc,) can cognitively restructure the belief systems, like what cults do…and create…MONSTERS…and will be producing fake news like never b4.

Is but isn't, yet is. Revelations still right...and happening.

AI is programmed by the same bad actors. Don't get sucked into thinking it is so different.

It has been programmed to look for what the blob want.

How long before all social media on the internet is banned altogether or is tied to a digital ID, which can erease you if you step outside the establishment narrative?

Sara's avatar

We have to get ahead of their bs.

Sara's avatar

If this doesn't focus people's minds then nothing will!

Also Substack is obviously infiltrated by the government hench men and women, parallels with recent history which all are aware of. Is Substack any longer a useful platform?

That is very worrying Everyone join the Free Speech union. These days you never know when you might need them. And yes I am a member…

I've always used a VPN, suggest others do too.

Zuriel's avatar

Well said. I use a VPN and I've set it to the USA. The British Government and institutions are aware that if they openly censor and discriminate against Americans then they're "opening a whole can of Whoop-Ass" on themselves and not only will they loose, but they'll suffer real consequences against themselves from the US. Those consequences will probably not only be against the government and institutions involved, but also individuals within them, sich as travel bans, embargos, court cases which could result in punitive penalties and bankruptcy, perhaps in the most egregious cases, international arrest warrants? What would happen then? 🤔

Sara's avatar

I hope they hammer them, it will likely affect the people to a certain extent but hey maybe that will give them a kick up the arse to engage their brains!

Zuriel's avatar

Perhaps, but a majority especially, a disorganised, disinterested, apathetic majority do not wield power, they lean towards power and comply. Power is gained and wielded by a determined, active, self interested, effectively organised, funded and capable elite. That elite needs to be patriotic, loyal and courageous. They dont need to be a majority or even a plurality. Most civil conflicts are conducted and resolved by a very small number of the population, perhaps less than 3%, as per the American Revolution.

Sara's avatar

Well am hoping, but time is running out fast.

Zuriel's avatar

It is indeed, but for all sides for a variety of reasons, and not just for us.

That is why I use VPN to jump these hurdles 👍

I already follow this handle you recommended 👍

Paul Hopkins's avatar

That’s a bit odd. I can read the Islam pieces which Hellish 2050 claims to be censored without the VPN turned on!

Perhaps the process is inevitably inconsistent.

Hellish 2050's avatar

It is a curious feature: if you are logged in to your substack account you can read the articles in the UK. Thus making the exercise pointless.

But if not logged in then they are not visible.

I should update my article. I only noticed this feature after I initially saw my articles are blocked using my phone without logging in.

Initially I thought it only applied to me viewing my own substack, then later realised it also applied to me viewing David's substack.

Confusing and bizarre!

Sara's avatar

It could as well, but am wondering if it's linked to who they can get details of via their network?!

Inevitable result of the unannouced war we are in.

What is the message that you get when posting an essay that is censored?

Mine's have not been (to my knowledge) so far.

Hellish 2050's avatar

Instead of the article title it states "Age Restricted".

But if you are logged in to your own substack account, you can read all censored articles anyway. Making the whole exercise absurdly pointless.

Are you able to read the (error: Norway) article from the 29th Nov?

Now log out or use a device or browser that you are not logged in.

Can you still see the Norway article? You should now see the Age Restricted message.

Correction: the twoarticles prior to the Norway article: i.e the Dearborn article and the South Africca article that are censored.

FutureDad's avatar

I see, thanks. I don't see a 'Norway' article of yours on Nov 29th. Post the link and I will test.

Hellish 2050's avatar

Ah no it is David's article:

Oops my mistake, it is the two articles before the Norway article that are censored:

https://thedavidvance.substack.com/archive

FutureDad's avatar

Thanks. You mean the Dearborn and South African articles?

OK, When l'm signed in I see the Norway, Dearborn and South Africa articles.

After I sign out I still seem them all.

I even paused my VPN (set to be outside UK) and tested and still see them all.

Hellish 2050's avatar

That is curious.

I am running two browsers. One logged in to my substack account and the other not.

With my VPN disconnected, on the logged in browser I can read the articles fine. On the not logged in browser they are censored.

With VPN connected, the articles are readable on both browsers.

Curious to know what way your setup is different to mine.

I am using Windows 11. The not logged in browser is AVG Secure Browser.

And on my iphone which I don't log in with, they are censored. Which is how I first noticed the censorship.

FutureDad's avatar

Interesting. My system: -

macOS Ventura 13.7

Only used Safari browser in the above exercise.

Using NordVPN.

Experimental comment. Stand by....

Here is a comment by Joe, copied from below the Norway article. Quote:

A Muslim invasion using marriage is still an invasion.

And we already know they are mostly peaceful until reaching critical mass.

Hellish 2050's avatar

Experiment result:

That comment by Joe is age restricted censored.

However, I posted my comment, just the first line initially. And it is not censored, as expected as it says nothing significant.

Then I went back and edited my comment, adding in the quote of the comment by Joe. Then re-posted it.

And it is not censored!!!

Conclusion: the censorship only happens on the initial posting of an article or a comment. After posting a few non-controversial words, go back and re-edit, adding in what you really wanted to say.

It is a bit of a faff of course.

FutureDad's avatar

It's a creative work-around. Issue is, it means emailing all subscribers with a bogus harmless essay before the real one. If you are adding several pictures, many endnotes, dividers and what not that might be tricky to finesse.

It seems you have to have the essay completely ready to publish. Then, create a separate harmless one, publish that, then edit it straight away by copying over the real one. Is that it?

If so, I will experiment on it for the next islam-focused essay, number 74.

Hellish 2050's avatar

I think if you have everything ready prepared, then it maybe only takes a minute to add in the full article.

The initial dummy article would invite people to read the full article online, explaining the problem.

Hellish 2050's avatar

Yes. It is a bit of a faff, but achievable.

Hellish 2050's avatar

David - very much to be confirmed, but I think I have worked out a way to circumvent the censorship.

I have done some experimenting this morning.

Initial tentative result is that the checking of the article for naughty words happens only at the initial posting of the article.

You can subsequently edit the article, adding all the naughty words into it - and it is not censored!

My experiment:

1. I initially created a new article with "A test" as the title. And the only text within the article being "Please ignore this post. I am doing an experiment!" I posted this, and confirmed that it is not censored.

2. I step by step copied paragraphs from a censored article into this test article. At each time, I re-published and checked that it is not censored.

Here is the test article:
