I Was Not Banned … Why Not ?

For the past year or so one of my goals was to be banned, even temporarily, from social media. I had chosen Facebook as a vehicle to more broadly disseminate my blog, and being the contrarian I am, getting temporarily banned should have been a slam dunk. Many of my positions on various topics clearly went against the grain. Even though I had gotten the sequential initial Covid vaccines as well as one booster, I was, and still am against vaccine mandates … this position was clearly not in agreement with what “those that know best” in our government were pushing. Likewise, my positions on vaccinating school children as well as younger individuals, unending lockdowns, the coercive closing of churches, the use of Ivermectin, etcetera were all clearly against the policies of “those that knew best.” 

Why was I not banned? I suppose that the answer could have something to do with my total number of readers. Perhaps those that read my blog do not tell enough of their friends. However, I prefer to think that regrettably I had chosen the wrong social media site. If only I had chosen Twitter, my odds of being cautioned, temporarily restricted, or banned would have been much higher.

From BlazeMedia:

“In the latest Twitter files installment, New York-based reporter David Zweig shared how the United States government pressured the social media platform to silence and suppress users spreading information about COVID that did not align with the establishment’s narrative.

According to Zweig, Twitter participated in rigging the COVID debate by ‘censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy,’ ‘discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed,’ and ‘suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s *own data*.’

Internal Twitter files revealed that the U.S. government requested that the social media site elevate COVID content that corroborated its stance on vaccine efficacy while suppressing dissenting information.”

I was robbed!! If only I had been on Twitter, things may have been different. Nonetheless, since I am still a contrarian by nature, perhaps there is still some hope that next year this goal of mine might be achieved.
