Seriously, I am trying to share the audit report, data and videos to my family via my Gmail account. (kek vindicated!!)
It's not even a big email and its taking 3 minutes to send. No attachments, just a Rumble link to the 3 hour presentation stream and a summary of the highlights with some figures.
Are Google throttling my account because of what I am trying to send?? I have never experienced a simple email take 3 minutes to send.
Are big tech trying to bury this via shenanigans?
Automated lists, I can guarantee it(but probably 50% of internet users are on at least 1 such list).
But a 'watch list' in the traditional sense of the term, unlikely. The way this stuff works is people are sorted in tiered lists based on activity level and type of activity and the amount of machine resources allocated to 'manage' the people on these lists is proportional to how high up you are on the 'problem' tier.
More likely answer is that there are content lists that are applied to everyone and whenever a piece of content that fits the listed criteria is sent/shared etc. automated censorship/bandwidth-limitation or other measures are activated to slow or stop the spread of that particular piece of content.
The place this is the most noticeable is various social media but reddit in particular as you can check if your stuff has been removed my simply changing the reddit in the url to revddit, the systems used for this use both optical character and image recognition as well as text/sentence recognition.
