Fellow IBA Blogger Watcher, of Eye on the World, Censored By Blogger



It's not impossible to get to his site, but there is now a "Content Warning", designed to intimidate new readers from clicking through to his site.

Why?

Because someone reported him for "objectionable speech." All the guy does is post news related to Islam. He does not editorialize. He does not threaten. He does not even cuss.

He just posts news stories.

That's objectionable ...

to some fucking Muslim (or his dhimmi poodle) no doubt.

Pastorius,

This is Damien,

My Google account is down again, so I have to post as anonymous.

What's happening to Watcher and his blog is really upsetting and scary. I hope he is able to get his site back online, despite what these whiners want.

I get the content warning but then can click through to the site (takes five seconds or so). Current top post there is about the 2 package bombs in D.C. today so I know it's current stuff.

Pastorius said...

Hi MR,
I still can't click through, but if you can, I'm glad.

Damien is right. This is scary. A great cartoonist, DT Devereaux was shut down, and this is the way it started.

I got there just fine, after the warning, and then added him to my favorities list.

Yes, very scary, very fascist, very stupid. I'll now make a point of reading the site.

Damien said...

Hey guys my Google account is working again.

Damien said...

American Rose,

I'm glad you were able to access Watcher's site. Maybe its not as bad as we thought.

Similar thing happening to Tundra Tabloids

When I click on my bookmark, a message comes up >

"You are about to be redirected

A blog that was here already in http://www.tundratabloids.com/.

What's with Blogger??

All those on blogger should migrate to Wordpress - the hosted service. As far as I am aware they don't get into this censorship shit unlike the US based dhimmi outfits: blogger, facebook etc.

Pastorius said...

I'm glad to see your account is working again, Damien.

Damien said...

Pastorius,

Thanks.

Damien said...

Ray Boyd,

One major problem with them all migrating to Wordpress is that than they'll be putting all their eggs in one basket. What happens than, if Wordpress is taken over by someone who is into censorship?

Ray Boyd said...

Damien,

I doubt very much that everyone would move to Wordpress because I posted here.

As for Wordpress being taken over that won't happen because it is owned by the co-operative of members who created it and not by big business.

WZ use Wordpress and they are very pleased with it so it seems having recently switched from another platform.

Pastorius said...

Thanks, Ray. I'll ask our admin guy what he thinks.

Watcher said...

Hey guys,

Thanks for your support. My blog isn't taken down but is probably permanently "marked" with the content warning message because some douchebags find it offensive.

Damien said...

Watcher,

You're Welcome. I'm glad to at least hear that your website is still up. Too bad fewer people will read your blog now that its been marked with a scarlet letter. Everything is offensive to someone, even if they have no good reason to be offended. Maybe you can convince your host to remove the content warning.

Watcher said...

I doubt they will remove it but I'll try.

Damien said...

Watcher,

I wish you the best of luck, and I will keep my fingers crossed that you will be able to figure out a way to convince them to remove it.
