Well, I used to be a prolific reader and commenter on The Gat_way P_ndit which always had a lot of good patriotic articles, but then suddenly my log-in wouldn't work and they didn't answer my emails enquiring as to what had happened.
Later, I re-signed in with a new login and started commenting and getting quite a bit of positive responses. But that meant that years worth of comments were now unaccessible.
Soon I began noticing my comments on my new login had few to no replies, nor likes. I went on a different browser and saw that my comments were no longer visible, making me a victim of shadow banning.
Then, one day my new 'likes' total suddenly had nearly 2,000 removed. Then I began seeing that if I got a lot of likes on a comment, only some of them would be reflected on my running total. Why was this seemingly conservative site sabotaging its faithful conservative readers?
The worst was one night during my late-at-night commenting (I'm a night owl) I was in the midst of composing a comment on my desktop computer, and a pop up appeared on the middle of my screen that said, "Are you sure you want to post that?"
What the...? How can they see what I am typing before I've posted it? And how do they make a pop-up show up on the middle of my desktop monitor screen?
That is when I stopped reading or commenting on that forum.
This eavesdropping and spying has gotten way too scary for me...
Me too.
