IBA Traffic


There has been a lot of talk in Conservative Media of late about how Twitter, Facebook, Google and other platforms are attempting to shadow-ban, isolate, and outright ban Conservative Media.

Many Conservatives are reporting their traffic decreases, and follower deletions.

IBA's traffic has gone down about 40% in the past month. Previous to that, it dropped to about 1/3rd to 1/4 of what it was last year.

Additionally, just for the record, IBA has been banned by Twitter, Facebook, Marriott, Hilton, Disney, and other major platforms and purveyors of Wifi for vacationers and business travellers.

IBA has been outright banned by all these platforms for years. Five years for some. Ten for others.

I am reporting this now, because now that it is happening to everyone, people will believe me.

Here is something I do not have a way to prove. Back when we began IBA, we had consistently high traffic morning, noon, and night. When we weren't getting traffic from America, we were getting it from Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Muslim nations of Asia. We got a huge amount of hits from Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other major Muslim nations.

At a certain point, Google (who owns Blogger) put a stop to that. Now we only get traffic from America, and some from Brits and Canadians. I suspect those we get from Britain and Canada are from people who know how to get around the Google protocols banning such illicit web surfing.

This suppression of Conservative voices and anti-Jihad voices has been going on a very long time. Sadly, IBA has been ruined by it.

Now it is happening to others, and they are rightly complaining about it.

I am happy that people are hearing them.

The censorship is real. (This is not an issue of property rights when government becomes involved in encouraging these actions.) In the past few weeks I've seen it affecting Pam Geller's site, Gates of Vienna, Gateway Pundit, and now IBA. Leftists believe they have the right to shut us up. By force, if necessary, by stealth as long as that works.

It is a frontal assault against independent thinkers. The narrative must be owned by those who wish to craft Americans into bleating sheep who have lost the power of logic.

My place of employment, bans Ibloga. I am still able to access it on my phone, but the day may come will that will also change.

The platforms were not really created to allow for free discourse and free moral agency. They were created with the end goal of placing individuals into demographic files, and as a means of surveillance of the general public.

Welcome to WWZ - the world wide zoo. Because at the end of the day we must call meta data surveillance, robotic surveillance what it really is: incarceration without probably cause.

We have lost Constitutional right to freedom of press and also the right to the privacy of our papers.

I am not anti-technology. I am anti-technology used for nefarious abuse of personal freedom.

There are other ways to skin a cat.

If they shut me down, it will only force me to be more creative.
