Update: the woman I was taking about is Sharyl Attkisson. You can read her story here.
I think it was on twitter some decade ago I first became aware of shadowbanning. Since then, the effect has been constantly growing.
In the sense that it has become more and more obvious.
The flip side is the artificially augmented boosting that the gatekeepers get.
Every single one of the tech players do it and facebook was also caught essentially stealing advert revenue because people who paid for ads would have rather unimpressive exposure if they were not current narrative friendly.
YouTube does it, Google does it, they all do it.
So, for people who have not bought a ticket, the only way is for literal word-of-mouth marketing and manual linking to the person being shadowbanned. Even then they can mess with your contact emails, make your site “invisible” to prospective clients and many such examples.
I also have had what I call psyops emails for years, on and off, depending more or less on my online activity. I also had my phone and computer hacked a number of times over the last three decades. These were sophisticated attacks that according to IT professionals that investigated it, at least on some occasions were state level actors.
There have also been attacks from private entities, but the nature of those is more well known to me.
My point is simply that big brother has been active in a way I have personally been able to confirm at least since 1995. And I was aware of their abilities since the very early 90s.
I am not particularly troublesome, but I had some experiences that can draw attention to you, and invariably there are state actors that given little or no oversight can and do decide to “have some fun”. A relatively well-done aspect of this, at least as far as Hollywood goes, is the attitude of the spooks in the old film Enemy of the State, with Will Smith.
The private hackers are invariably more malicious, well, on a day to day basis I mean. When the state actors become vicious you’re literally screwed. Note for example the lady who was smart enough to figure out the FBI was uploading child porn to their computer to try and frame her husband. I forgot the name, as it was a while back, but she undoubtedly saved him years of jail time. Given the last 3 years, Edward Snowden and so on, I think it is clear even to the average normie that if you are targeted by state actors with malicious intent, you’re pretty much screwed.
None of this is news to me, as both the reality and the trajectory of it all was clear to me by about 1992/1993, nor should it be to you.
I also don’t believe in self-censorship all that much, beyond the obvious emotionally charged hyperbole. Ultimately, ruling you by the fear in your own mind is the goal.
And yet, the self-censorship that has resulted in the last 30 years is quite astonishing, and has progressed pretty much along the lines that I predicted way back then and later put in writing more than a decade ago.
So, if you get shadowbanned, consider it a badge of honour to some extent. If nothing else, it shows you’re probably not a ticket taker.
Shadowbans are real
