Doesn’t it seem strange that there aren’t hundreds of smartphone videos of the “forest fires” taken by the locals and posted online? Shouldn’t there be so many videos that any speculation about what actually happened would be impossible, because people could watch the fires from thousands of different angles?
It reminds me of the the war in Ukraine, where there is also almost no video of anything that looks like an actual war going on coming from people’s smartphones. The TV tells me there is a war, the politicians tell me there is a war, but I don’t feel like I’ve seen any evidence that there actually even is a war.
I remember with the Las Vegas shooting there were all sorts of smartphone videos of the event. Some of those videos claimed it was fake as it was happening - in one video of the huddled crowd, a dude was standing up with his arms outspread yelling at the crowd to stand up because there are no bullets - but I remember people posting videos from all over Las Vegas. Cabbies, tourists, etc. Everyone was filming and uploading.
It all just seems very weird. Some events everyone seems to record and others no one seems to record. How would that be possible? Are videos being blocked/censored at the IP level?

I think so.
