At Facebook Value

As it turns out, the Biden White House relied on foreign “disinfo” activists to pressure Facebook to censor Americans. Worse, it turns out the group supposedly targeting disinformation had their facts wrong. Facebook knew it, too. [More]

Those must be the “community standards” they keep dinging me for violating…

Just Here for the Attention

We have a ton of handcuffs ready for those who refuse to give their guns up so if you refuse just be ready to get arrested, you are part of the problem. Just give it up and we won’t have a problem, we will go door to door. [More]

Also from “Jay”:

Farming for interactions is the lowest of lows and ruins the Twitter experience.

We Could Tell You But Then We’d Have to Kill You

If they removed something, I can’t tell what it is. Sure be nice if they told me what I’d done that offends them and puts me in jeopardy of being kicked out.

I mean, I thought I’d learned my lesson after wishing everyone a contemplative Bill of Rights Day…

Et Tu, Elon?

I haven’t been this enamored of “social media” since Facebook told me wishing readers a contemplative Bill of Rights Day violated community standards.

Since the only reason I’m on “social media” (which I use as advocacy media) is to promote my work and support the work of others, I don’t solicit for “friends” or “followers” for the exact reason that to do so WOULD be spamming. They “friend” or “follow” me first.

So what this tells me is either the share utilities on this blog or AmmoLand or Firearms News triggered this OR some prohibitionist “followed” me so they could lodge complaints when my stuff appears on their feed — and some kneejerk bureaucrat then kicked it into the penalty box without assessing legitimacy. If they can do that (and we’ve established they have networks for it), then the power to censor is in the hands of the antis.

Why don’t I just quit? Who else is going to promote my work by sharing my links — the ones asking that? And for reasons I detailed here.

And if my stuff is “spam,” how come every day I get multiple follower notices like this?

I’d like to find out if Musk believes all that stuff he says about free speech. So how does a relative nobody get a world-famous billionaire’s attention?

Guilty until proven innocent with no evidence presented and/or not being able to face your accuser is the stuff of tyranny.

UPDATE

I’m told “bugs,” and not the kind Greta wants us to eat.

Welcome to the Party, Pal

The New Way YouTube is Going After 2A Content [Watch]

As opposed to the “old way”? I had a genuine original news video, non-monetized, mind you, taken from a car, of ATF trying to fire Fast and Furious whistleblower Vince Cefalu that got blocked by Google-owned YouTube after it started getting noticed on bogus “copyright” grounds because you could hear the radio playing a song in the background:

There’s a reason I went through all the contortions to leave Google–owned Blogger and find a platform safe from censorship, and since I don’t do ads here, there’s nothing to demonetize.

Screwing my findability on work published elsewhere is another story.

Sturm und Drang

A child just rang my doorbell,” the post read. “Folks you do NOT ring doorbells in 2023. My 6 was loaded. Keep your kids away.” [More]

We sure have come a long way since Aileen the ‘Weather Girl’.

It looks like the moron just keeps digging in deeper, which has the predictable effect of giving the gun-grabbers a brush to tar us all with and bringing out the “real men.”

If They Could Figure Out a Way to Say It’s Trump’s Fault, They Would

A 13-year-old boy was groomed publicly on Twitter and kidnapped, despite numerous chances to stop it [More]

See, it’s Elon Musk’s fault that the system hasn’t;t achieved perfection yet.

Certainly not the level of dependability NBC News has attained…

A Typical Twitter Lefty

I went to HS 45 years ago. We didn’t have gun clubs or shooting ranges…because it was a school. AR-15’s didn’t exist back then either. Nor did 9mm semiautomatic pistols. Nor did hollow point rounds. [More]

Four lies in a row. Why should we believe he’s not fraudulently using the “Vet” handle to establish false authority with his moron followers?

I Think They Call What’s Happening Here ‘Ratioing’

Today, we remember and honor the life and service of Special Agents Conway LeBleu, Todd McKeehan, Robert Williams and Steven Willis, who were killed attempting to execute warrants at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993. [More]

To put it mildly, comments are not supportive.
