j reacts to the realization that she's being actively censored

i wasn't crying censorship before, but i'm noticing that a lot of my posts disappear when i log out. meaning only i can see them. see, that's sneaky - it means i don't actually know that i'm being censored.

and that i don't know how long i've been being censored for.

listen: i don't want my content on somebody else's channel. that was never my intent. my intent was always to have a feed of content.

comments are content.


the cross-link was just incredibly useful.

i've explained this already: i'll be vlogging my comments. yes, it's stupid. but, don't look at me, i'm just adjusting to a stupid system.

but, i'm not just figuring out that the videos are down and the content is evaporated - i'm figuring out that i'm not getting posts through. it's pretty random. and, when something like this is random there are two possible causes:

1) error. which is exceedingly unlikely. this is youtube.
2) active censorship.

i wanted to avoid that conclusion. i really did. but it's unavoidable.

i've been posting comments here for the last several months, hardlinked to google. flip through the page (or the koalas page), open a few links and tell me - how many of the links bring you somewhere other than the comment they're hardcoded to?

it's probably not google, exactly.

google has probably allowed full control over my profile to somebody at some ministry of information.

i'm not sure if my status as a canadian gives me more or less rights, here.
