The use of Enhanced Artificial Intelligence to control information and communication is a subject that too few people understand. This is why I have spent time trying to share information so that people can see into the future of their internet reality. Everything will change.
As you should know by now, the X platform (Twitter) is designed to produce a different user experience based on “definitions” of the user. The definitions are applied by the platform, to create unique identifying characteristics of the user. The result is that each user gets a completely different platform experience, based on their definitions.
“Twitter is a different platform for each user.” Repeat that phrase as often as needed to understand the evolution of what is coming to the American internet.
You might ask, how is applying all of these granular definitions even possible? The answer is through the use of AI. Humans will no longer be assigning the definitions of you; an autonomous system will take on the job of assigning the definitions. Now, keep referencing the word “definitions,” because that is your identity and gateway pass into the platform content. If you carry a particular definition, you will be blocked, throttled, shadow-banned or experience friction applied to your user id.
Remember when Elon Musk restricted users and claimed it was because the platform content was being “scraped” by organizations who were using the content to train their Enhanced AI systems? Remember, Musk saying that, and expressing his concern? Well, now the platform is telling users in a new X Corp privacy policy, that X corp itself is going to do exactly the thing Musk said he abhorred.
Twitter (X Corp) is going to use the content you provide to train the AI how to apply the definitions. All of your interactions with the X Corp product are then going to be tailored based on the definitions that are applied to your identity, your account. Some content will not be available to you; some content will only be available to you; the key and essential point is that YOU are defined.
Once you understand how your experience with the X platform is an outcome of definitions applied by X platform to you, then you can elevate your thinking and start to understand what the new American internet is all about. Your definitions will determine what paths and/or roadways are available to you.
Enhanced AI will act like an invisible gatekeeping system on the American internet, showing or hiding internet outcomes according to your definitions. It’s not that the offramp (a specific pathway on the internet) doesn’t exist, it’s an issue of you not being able to see any off ramp. Your experience online is modified according to the definitions, that are applied to you. This is why Enhanced AI is needed to (a) monitor and define; then (b) control the pathways of your travel.
Currently, your experience with Twitter is contingent upon your definitions. Very soon, that same process will apply to the larger internet.
There really is no other phrase that seems to adequately describe the future for online life in the United States than to describe it through the prism of the previously discussed shadow banning that takes place on the X-platform for specifically wrong-thinking users.
It is important to begin with the end in mind. Perhaps some people are unaware that internet services, meaning the actual experience of using the internet for communication and commerce, are not the same in every nation. In fact, it is quite a different experience depending on where on the globe you are located. The differences are driven by internal controls, the intranet of the regional internet per se.
The internet in China is not the same as the internet in Europe, which is not the same as the internet in Australia, which is not the same as the internet in North America, which is not the same -at all- as the internet that now exists within Russia. Even in some continents, the internet traffic flows are controlled at different levels within each nation. The “world wide web” is a format, but when you get down to the national level, things change.
This baseline helps to understand that internet freedom is defined by access to information and commerce.
To the extent the information or commerce is defined as against the interests of the authority structure, or potentially a threat to the national security interest of the government therein, the internet content is filtered, modified, censored, removed or just simply blocked from view. This is one layer in the information control system.
Another layer is the flow of commerce that floats atop the flow of information. This is where advertising, product sales, purchasing and general e-commerce takes place. This layer represents another option for control; therefore, this e-commerce layer should be considered running in parallel to the information, albeit perhaps indirectly attached.
When western government applied economic sanctions against Russia via financial restrictions writ large, the layer of internet commerce control merged with the information and national security control systems of the internet.
Russian citizens were blocked from e-commerce access, specifically from western nations in alignment with the sanctions, and the mechanisms of online purchasing were restricted. However, the entire world did not participate in the sanctions, and there is a massive amount of e-commerce that takes place, even with the systems of western control financial blocks in place.
Additionally, there is a large black-market system for commerce and financial transactions that started organically in the aftermath of the Russian sanctions. Crypto currency, as a financial transaction mechanism, was predictable; however, over time people became even more strategic and alternate transfer systems were created. You can purchase advertising in Russia, but are you really purchasing advertising – or are the purchasers really just transferring funds? Think about it.
I share that Russia example, because I do not want people to get too disheartened in what is going to happen here in the United States. There will always be a market for information, regardless of the control systems that are created to stop it. Additionally, there will always be smart rebellious people who think of ways to subvert the intents of the control mechanisms. Freedom may be diminished from a raging fire to a small burning flame, but it will never be fully extinguished. WE just need to learn to adapt.
It took me over two years to assemble The Benghazi Brief, because the background story was so large and complex that it took time, research and retrospection to appropriately contextualize the truth of the issue. {GO DEEP} The Benghazi attack was a small, albeit deadly outcome, of a much larger story. The brief walks through everything in context.
In a similar construct, the Shadowbanning of The United States internet is a big and complex story, and I am only about halfway through the assembly of all the data to put context to it. However, as time becomes critical, it is important for me to push the information forward – because many of the timelines in the construct are likely to surface before I am complete with the fully assembled story.
I am going to drop some links that will help serve as a flashlight into the rabbit hole. Each story may seem initially disparate or disconnected. However, I would encourage you to think big picture with each of the puzzle pieces that are presented. This is likely to become a series, and I will create a new “Internet” category on the side bar where I will tag any future elements.
Please keep in mind, the issues of e-commerce: ie. information monetization, advertising, deplatforming and debanking, are not disconnected from the issues of information control. The same larger national security system that has mandated (and will mandate), information blocks, content censorship, content restrictions, content removal and various platform control elements, is all part of one interconnected compliance system. Electronic Commerce and Electronic Information are all subject to the online control process. This is a public-private partnership on the internet.
The origin of the public-private partnership goes all the way back to the origin of the tech system in relationship to the DARPA programs and government sponsored research labs. The outcome of the modern partnership is evident in the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) collaboration with the various communication platforms or pipes of information. Systems like the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database, are simply outcomes of the partnership. There are hundreds more.
There is a rush now to provide context because Artificial Intelligence (AI), or smart data systems, are launching into the United States internet control mechanisms almost daily. We are close to the time when AI will be triggered to help control the content of the internet under the guise of national security.
The timeline for full deployment of the modern United States internet control system, is likely around late fall and early winter this year, in advance of the 2024 U.S. election cycle.
Everything will change. Every route of online traffic including Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) to filters and rerouting on Domain Name Systems (DNS), to the Internet Protocol (IP) itself will be subject to change in the form of background shadow banning. If the DHS partnership is successful, you will not initially notice – much like a shadow banned platform user doesn’t notice their new defined status. The shift will become more obvious over time.
One odd outcome will be a regional targeting system. Depending on where you are in the USA, your online experience will be different. There will also be enhancements to your internet travel based on your profile. Good thinking users will have benefits that enhance the experience of the user and supports the interests of the national security guardians.
♦ Deployment of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is irrelevant in this construct. A VPN is like you renting a car without a license plate. You travel past all the Automatic License Plate Readers, arrive at your destination, leave the keys in the ignition and just abandon the car. Your personal travel was essentially invisible to the APLR system. However, when the internet roads are controlled by the national security state, and there is no longer an offramp to the destination, your VPN use is irrelevant – you cannot reach your destination. That’s part of the shift.
You will notice I use the term “definition” quite often. That is because the root of every control mechanism is grounded upon defining things. When you accept the terms ‘disinformation’, ‘misinformation’, and/or ‘malinformation’, you are buying into the process that permits definitions to determine your travel. Those who define both you and your destination, ultimately control your online experience.
Now, before getting to a recent example of this construct as it is being built, it is important to return to the e-commerce aspect and overlay the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) index into the world of online commerce.
♦ Right now, you can physically boycott Bud Light by choosing another brand. However, for total goods and services the amount of online purchasing is now exceeding the amount of purchasing in real life (brick and mortar shopping). Overlay the economic control system (think Russian sanctions approach) with the national security requirements for DEI, amid all online commerce, and apply that layer of analysis. In the e-commerce world, choosing not to buy Bud Light will become a little more difficult; and those who do support the boycott become subject to the previously mentioned “definitions”.
I’m jumping ahead, because today there was a big development. As you read this, do not think small as presented – think bigger. Think beyond the use of AI moderation on a platform, and think of AI moderation on the U.S. Internet System. Online moderation conducted by AI:
OPEN AI – […] GPT-4 is also able to interpret rules and nuances in long content policy documentation and adapt instantly to policy updates, resulting in more consistent labeling. We believe this offers a more positive vision of the future of digital platforms, where AI can help moderate online traffic.
[…] Content moderation demands meticulous effort, sensitivity, a profound understanding of context, as well as quick adaptation to new use cases, making it both time consuming and challenging. Traditionally, the burden of this task has fallen on human moderators sifting through large amounts of content to filter out toxic and harmful material, supported by smaller vertical-specific machine learning models. The process is inherently slow and can lead to mental stress on human moderators.
We’re exploring the use of LLMs to address these challenges. Our large language models like GPT-4 can understand and generate natural language, making them applicable to content moderation. The models can make moderation judgments based on policy guidelines provided to them. (read more)
Do you remember me telling you about what I noticed in the most recent Google spider crawls?
“The Alpha/Google spiders are not crawling around with their enhanced AI looking for words, phrases or content issues. Enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) has given the spiders the ability to look for context. The new Alpha/Goog AI spiders are crawling the internet looking for information provided with a detrimental and accurate context. Those who are applying truthful context are the subversive voices that must be targeted. Keep this in mind.”
Google Spider Crawl Result, CTH Subversive Content, July 2023
As we have shared, the crawl is not headlines, the crawl is in content. Yes, even content in the comment section is now flagging to the control systems. Why? Because we operate a proprietary constructed private commenting system that doesn’t have a backdoor and protects you, the user.
The Google Spiders are newly enhanced with AI instructions, dispatched looking for content and ‘context’ that is against the interests of the Vanguard, Blackrock, Larry Page (Alpha/Goog owners), and the public-private partnership.
Look at the one I have highlighted above titled “Have you ever noticed this.” Do you remember it? [Reminder Here] This content is considered “dangerous or derogatory”. Think about that for a moment. Discussing the humor of Donald Trump, and the fellowship it creates, is considered “dangerous” to the interests of Google.
Do not get alarmed, get informed.
I share this information with you so that you understand what is being constructed and what is about to be deployed on a large scale throughout the U.S. internet operating system. The U.S. internet will be different. The social media restrictions became more prevalent and noticeable in the past several years; now it is time for DHS to expand that process to the entire U.S. internet.
When I wrote about Jack’s Magic Coffee shop, people initially thought I was crazy – but the guys inside the coffee shop didn’t. Eventually DHS control over Twitter was revealed in the Twitter files. The same background is true here. The entire American online apparatus is going to change, quite soon.

outrageous thought.
That’s a novel idea!
Any wonder why churches, gyms, restaurants, pubs, and social clubs all needed to be closed in 2020? Yes, the liquor stores stayed open but those are simply transactional businesses – people don’t generally hang out and socialize there. And even in grocery stores, we were all told to stay six feet apart from each other – no opportunity for personal conversations there either!
Bingo.
John17milw: That situation has never been otherwise.
Yesterday, my son informed me that Activision just released a mid season update for its video game known as “Call of Duty.”
At that time, they announced that their online chat room conversations for gamers would be monitored by AI for unacceptable speech.
my three grandsons will be kicked off
part of the young gamers fun is yelling and swearing loudly
but that’s probably not the kind of “speech” they consider unacceptable…
Our three grandsons are a little young for gaming and not yet school age.
Their dads did the gaming thing, and are tech savvy.
The grandsons have already experienced ocean kayaking, ocean fishing , and have watched as crab traps were hauled aboard.
They also watch us attempt to fix stuff, but as of yet their mums will not let them attempt using the chainsaw 😉
Granda has taught the boys what a fist is for, and one of the boys used it on a bully at an infants event.
Their mum feigned a little disappointment, but her body language showed pride.
It appears that quite naturally folks are moving back to nature, and simpler ways.
Maybe not, but it seems like it is.
Cheers, and God Bless President Trump
I don’t think that they are bothered by profanity.
I think it has more to do with disliking upcoming lockdowns, complaining against upcoming forced vaccinations, criticism of the demons who have overtaken our society, speaking highly of PDJT, and promoting American Nationalism/Economics/Freedom.
If you lie like Karine Jean Pierre then you will be free to move about the internet.
AI is not “intelligence”. It is basically just a fancy/fast pattern matching tool (albeit, very good pattern matching). You can train AI pattern matching to pretty much do whatever algorithm you want it to do, and the results are highly dependent on the input data. Garbage in, garbage out. Well organized/relevant data in, good results out. Some enterprising company could even train it to recognize political corruption or voter fraud crime. Cuts both ways..
This is exactly right. AI is not some independent, sentient being. It is a computer program written to analyze data and make decisions/predictions based on certain criteria. It has been around forever. Spiders, bots, etc… are all AI. It only does what the programmer and administrator tell it to do, or let it do.
The problem now is that in todays overtly divided world, AI is going to take your well organized/relevant data and output garbage and propaganda. It is going to get harder and harder to trust what we are presented with. Take EVERYTHING with a grain of salt.
It’s interesting that in the Left Behind series, it was this kind of information/communication control that the “antichrist” used to only allow his followers to use the internet and buy/sell.
Things that make you go hmmm…
yes, got an email from google yesterday about test driving its new ai system. It did not take long to prove to myself that it could not rationally and logically reason. It could not recognize contradictions within what it was saying.
I also received a text from g o o g. Said it was “reverifying the phone number of this device.”
Wanted me to click for further details.
I have never allowed them access.
Seems like momentous change is just ’round the corner. Good thing I have plenty of books on science and engineering. As well as gardening and self sufficiency.

Interesting article
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/25/political-conspiracies-facebook-youtube-elon-musk/
Following Elon Musk’s lead, Big Tech is surrendering to disinformation
Facebook and YouTube are receding from their role as watchdogs against conspiracy theories ahead of the 2024 presidential election
An array of circumstances is fueling the retreat: Mass layoffs at Meta and other major tech companies have gutted teams dedicated to promoting accurate information online. An aggressive legal battle over claims that the Biden administration pressured social media platforms to silence certain speech has blocked a key path to detecting election interference.
The evolution of the companies’ practices was described by more than a dozen current and former employees, many of them speaking on the condition of anonymity to offer sensitive details.
These pared-down commitments emerge as covert influence campaigns from Russia and China have grown more aggressive, and advances in generative artificial intelligence have created new tools for misleading voters.
Experts in disinformation say the dynamic headed into 2024 calls for more aggressive efforts to combat it, not less.
These shifts are a reaction from social media executives to being battered by contentious battles over content and concluding there is “no winning,” said Katie Harbath, former director of public policy at Facebook, where she managed the global elections strategy across the company.
“For Democrats, we weren’t taking down enough, and for Republicans we were taking down too much,” she said. The result was an overall sense that “after doing all this, we’re still getting yelled at … It’s just not worth it anymore.”
I think that this WAPO article is just to throw us off track. They have been censoring and interfering with search and content more than ever in my experience.
Dump Musk’s crap. I’m shocked he would succumb to this. These elites are all hypocrites. Maybe we need to speak in code…
Musk didn’t succumb. Musk was always this.
He was blackmailed. Of that I am sure. he was always for free speech and now he does this? Someone should call him out on twaddel

He wasn’t blackmailed. See my comment above.

Australia’s sleazy PM Albanese had an interview today/yesterday and this is what he said:
“In the same interview, Mr Albanese revealed he would ban social media and abolish the states if he ever became dictator.
Responding to Mitchell’s hypothetical about what he would do if he was running Australia as a dictator, he said banning social media ‘would be handy’.
‘Keyboard warriors who can anonymously say anything at all and without any fear; the sort of things they would never say to you face-to-face, they can just assert as fact and it worries me,’ he said.”
Remember the old saying “Sticks and stones” –he is afraid of the the keyboard warriors. If he has nothing to hide then why should he be afraid?
Oh wait – he was seen leaving a Thai Massage parlour and photographed. When confronted he said it was for “a therapeutic massage”

Have to try and decipher that
Charlotte99: Pig Latin. Move the first letter of each word to the end of the word and add “ay.” Or, something like that.
Girls always seem to be able to do this while leaving most boys completely baffled. It’s taken my six decades to figure out the code.
Also mixing up letters like this: the hmaun bairn cn rd wrd s nd undrs tnd n wys mchins cnt
And subbing symbols, deliberate misspellings, and throwing in random punctuation: th3 hoomn, brn c@n reed w0rd5 -n- und3rst@nd n w@ys mee-cheens c’nt
We can read those, sometimes it takes a little longer, but machines have trouble with that. And allegory is always helpful.
Love this! Got the first right away–a little trouble with the second but finally got it!
Sadly, when I type on my cell phone and tablet jumbled up words that start with the correct letter and end with the correct letter and the ones in between are scrambled BOTH devices give me the correct word. Being able to unscramble this method has already be devised.
If the FIRST letter is incorrect then the two devices are lost at sea.
We need a system that assigns a letter in the alphabet that replaces the correct letter at the beginning of a word. Or we agree that we put the last letter first and the first letter last. It is a little bit harder to decipher but that is what pencil and paper is for.
You can disable the autocorrect.
👇
“Open the Settings app on your Android phone.
Search for “Language & Input” using the search bar at the top.
Select “On-Screen Keyboard.”
Tap on “Gboard” from the list of options.
Locate and tap the “Text Correction” option.
Finally, locate the “Auto-correction” toggle and turn it off.”
Oh, I know that.
What I was trying to say is that there ALREADY is technology to unscramble your words. They will descramble it while it goes from point A to point B.
They don’t need to descramble it on my phone. They will descramble it while in transit.
And all this time peollehave been correcting my spelling I new thr was a reson I didnt lik word Nazis

Musk did not buy Twitter to enhance free speech. All the brouhaha you heard was marketing, with some twiddles and twats to “correct” high-profile mistakes that were too public. Promotion. You are the product.
Musk cares about your free speech only in the most superficial lipservice way — sure you can have it as much as possible to keep you as a user and provided that it doesn’t interfere with his agenda.
That about accords with how much he cares about your ability to take a long road trip through rural areas in a Tesla — sure you can have it provided the government puts charging stations in the middle of the Nevada desert etc. and you don’t park too close to a saltwater beach, and to whatever extent you can manage it with this inferior transportation system.
Musk bought Twitter in order to spin it into X and use the massive number of users as a jumping off point to create an “everything” platform.
Musk will do what is good for Musk. I’ve been saying this since before he bought the Twitter.

I remember a world before cell phones and the Internet.
It was a better place.
Social media has created hate groups and only divides us.
Yes, the internet has allowed for many services such as online banking, etc., that is convenient. And having instant information available is a wonderful thing (although the quality of much of that information is questionable).
But it has also brought mass surveillance to your devices and your person.
We lived well before the internet, and can live well without it…maybe better.
Even my 22 year old triplets say the best thing to happen would be an EMP or something like it to knock out all cell phone/WiFi/internet access.

Well past time for a Butlerian Jihad in my opinion.
“We must negate the machines-that-think. Humans must set their own guidelines. This is not something machines can do. Reasoning depends upon programming, not on hardware, and we are the ultimate program! Our Jihad is a “dump program.” We dump the things which destroy us as humans!”
― Minister-companion of the Jihad[src]
The Butlerian Jihad, also known as the Great Revolt as well as commonly shortened to the Jihad, was the crusade against computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots that begun in 201 BG and concluded in 108 BG.[1]
https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Butlerian_Jihad
I remember those days very well.
Social Media has shown us the extent of how many groups HATE US (MAGA types). If we had just sat down and shut up and not fought back then we could have all gotten along.
But (there is always a but), times have changed.
Back in the day we could trust the USPS. Now they take photos of the front and back of letters that you send. If you want to mail a check to PDJT then they know. They may start “losing” his campaign mail or a bag of mail headed his way gets destroyed mysteriously. The USPS is dirty.
Do you want to print out a newsletter from your home computer (keystroke data) to your home printer and become a street corner dissident? Technology and communication between your devices may be interrupted or may mark you as a rabble rouser. Then your bank accounts will be unavailable. You won’t be able to take your dog to the vet. No gas purchases for you this week.
Modern copy machines keep a copy of everything that they scan. They are so good that they can copy currency. But if you try to do that then that information will be sent to the authorities to arrest you. They are watching everything.
The downside to having such a large mass of land for our nation is that it is difficult for us to assemble face-to-face. When it was just a smaller section of our east coast back in the late 1700s it was easier for people to assemble and speak.
They have cameras and surveillance everywhere (except near ballot drop boxes, ballot printers and storage, ballot counting areas, and ballots at the USPS).
Back then, there was none of that and we were free to assemble, free to speak, free to have commerce, free to disagree, and free to learn/think.

“NEW – Gaming publisher Activision will deploy AI to monitor voice chats for “hate speech” and “harassment” during online matches — Sky”
My son and I were discussing that just yesterday.
Those in-game voice discussions are beyond toxic.
My son was playing and took the chat feature off mute for me.
It was a wild free-for-all of insults and screaming like I couldn’t believe.
I asked him how he could listen to that madness and he told me that he restricts his chats to private conversations with just his friends or teammates.
Not sure how it’s going to work for Activision.
They’ll have to kick off thousands of customers.
My guess is that their real goal is to glean information from voice communications that has previously only been obtainable through text messaging.
They’re not worried about swearing, they are worried about freedom.
newyorkbitchfest…: Yup. The fake callers only want to record your voice. Except for the Indian web designers. They just want to annoy you, and it works.
I hate to break it to you, but it has been going on for a long time already. In a large amount of these announcements, they are announcing things they have been doing already for a long time.

Search engines have been tweeking their results a lot since 2016. It has greatly affected the quality of the results and the ability to use them for comprehensive searching. This has applied to non-political research as if the tweeks to censor content they don’t like screwed with the general functionality.
I have also suspected that they are selecting winners and losers based upon revenue generated from the content provider – probably.
There were a number of years where Google results were so much better than anything that had come before re: search engines and far better than their current competitors. In many if not most circumstances, Google keyword only search results could be used instead of the searching once done on paid services with complex search terms and language. That is no longer the case.
What concerns me is over the years as you encounter young people in the workplace their ability to find good information and understand what is good information has declined year after year. The vast majority will not question the information they are receiving online but worse still have no ability to find good information.
Every house should have a print dictionary, print older encyclopedia set, and a print first aid manual. Beyond that I highly recommend having print copies of major works of literature, the Bible, and 20th century basic science and history textbooks.
Thank you for an EXCELLENT post! All of your points are well taken. I am a legal researcher and writer by trade plus I buy and sell things online as well.
Google has gotten so much worse in the past year that it’s almost unusable unless you absolutely know what their biases and filters are. Then you can use key words and phrases to do a better search.
The big selling platforms are the worst when it comes to search and I say this as a buyer and seller.
Even if you know exactly what you are looking for or the name of the seller you often can’t find it. Instead you are shown items that they want you to see that have been heavily advertised / paid for by the seller.
If you ever buy anything on Ebay or Amazon, you will see what I mean. Even if you find what you’re looking for, it’s surrounded by a hundred other items that “may interest you.”
The big G is also censoring medical info like crazy and even people like Dr. McCullough, Malone, et al are complaining about it.
As far as you suggestions for print materials- my house is filled with books!

You will not be able to communicate meaningfully with others because your “realities” will be different.
Never, ever used “social media.” Never will. I really don’t care what other people think, since I have all the right answers. 😜 And, even in the earliest days of “IRC = Internet Relay Chat,” I never was a chatterbox.
Also: since “AI” algorithms really are just “sophisticated pattern matching,” and thus not “intelligent” at all, they can be manipulated and “spoofed.” Cryptography expert Bruce Schneier has already published article links about this in his “Crypto-Gram” monthly newsletter. https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram/
Importantly, the users/deployers of the algorithms might well not necessarily know that it is being “gamed” and therefore may rely on it. The worst thing you can do with an algorithm is to believe yourself that it is something that it cannot actually be. Caveat user.
Are you not at this moment using social media?
It’s not the same thing. I use comment sections and traditional forums of professional interest to me. But I don’t “yack” and spill my guts to my “millions of followers.” (sic)

TRUTH Social Media? 🤔
When you hire people who talk and think this way, it is impossible that you had good intentions.
This sounds like East Germany when the wall was in place.
X has a responsibility to put the right systems in place to ensure our communities have access to open, accurate, and safe political discourse.
That’s why we’re hiring more people, updating our policies, and evolving our product.

Double Speak
The problem is all political info allowed is NOT ACCURATE . All the accurate info is censored .
“Safe political discourse”. SAFE. Demons, all of them.
Elon Musk is AGAINST AI research and yet is allowing it. Weird.
Recall that Musk first set up limits to prevent scraping (AI training/learning). What changed? Obviously unspeakable pressures… first major sign was the hiring of the exact wrong CEO.
He’s against censorship too, Unless he’s the one censoring.
He’s against other companies costing X money by scraping the content. He’s fine with X scraping X content to train his AI. Money and power in his pocket.
“Privacy Report” from Safari.
17 “trackers” on the ThreeHouse.
So which browser is then the best to use? Safari? Firefox? Brave? Opera?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I use Safari on the iPhone and Brave on Android and Opera on the Mac.
They all have trackers, you have to allow cookies on the websites.
I prefer Brave. I use Luxxle for searching. Proton mail for email. Signal for texting. Telegram is encrypted end-to-end but full of spammers and scammers, so I rarely use it.
Firefox focus is good if you want to block tracking.
We are the programmers.
Why does anyone here have twatter or Fakebook or instagram etc etc ?
There is no excuse that someone needs to keep up with this or that or that someone.

The people I have observed that use FB state that they just use it to keep up with family. Appears to be a lazy response. Why not pick up a phone…!?

When you have certain government bookmarks (DOJ lists of Osama pardons) that disappear from your phone it’s enough to show people how intrusive the spiders are.
What’s going to be interesting to observe is the point at which people start meeting up again in person, and leaving their phones at home, to discuss the issues of the day without Big Brother hanging around listening.
I realize this is bigger than Twitter, but I remain glad to this day that I don’t have a Twitter account and ditched fakebook after the fake election. It’s altogether evil, and should be cast into the fire.

The only way out is antitrust. But, the same cabal that controls Twitter, controls politicians. Social media is “cool” and “free” so everyone just marches on.
The essential problem here is that people never question why using multi billon dollar systems like Google, Apple and Twitter are free. We willingly surrender all our privacy as massive monopolies grow their surveillance and censorship power unchecked.
If a singular, massive, government-linked monopoly (e.g. Verizon) was monitoring, filtering and blocking our phone conversations, there would be national outrage until it was broken up. But no one seems to care that Facebook and Twitter do the exactly the same.
Verizon could not do such a thing today because users would just switch to T-mobile and never skip a beat. Today you can call and talk to anyone anywhere in the world with any phone or phone provider you like. That works because voice systems interoperate. They interoperate as a result of decades of open standards built by industry competitors – interoperability forced by the public using their government to prevent dangerous fascist monopolies like Twitter.
If I use Twitter, there are no technical reasons that I should not be able to send and receive messages with a TruthSocial user exactly the same as I would with a Twitter user. Just like phone calls. The technology to do this is dead simple . All it takes is open industry standards. The reason there are no standards is because no one is willing to demand an anti-trust breakup the social media monopolies.
Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, iMessage are not free at all. We are about to pay dearly for it all – with our liberty.
.
We could start with a law that declares social media internet providers to be “common carriers”.
.
I think they are too big now for that and the regulators too weak and compromised..
First they must be broken up. And the settlement of that action will be to turn core software and system assets over to the open source communities. Open standards will create a competitive industry by ensuring interoperability. Open software will put crucial software components into the sunlight of the software community and allow royalty free use.
This is all a well known model.
.
Too big how? Common carrier law and theory was designed to address “big”.
.
Sorry bad term. I mean they have all the global capital behind them and would control all the lobbyists would write the legislation for such a declaration. The process of amending those laws (originally set up for conventional carriers) would easily be subverted. Social media is not a carrier. It is a software application and database server. They are a monopoly because global capital funding and the deep state wants them to be, so no one is able to compete.
First they need to be busted up. Then they need to contribute common components to ensure a free open market where content belongs to the originator and their software is simply a transport, storage and presentation tool.
email (for the most part) works much better regarding censorship and monopolistic practice – much better than social media. It is interoperable, open and not subject to antiquated FCC regulations. I think that understanding/comparing telephony, email and social media would expose the monopolistic practices of BigTech without characterizing them as carriers.
Where legislation is needed as part of the antitrust settlement is in “user agreements” and software licensing. That is how unrestricted surveillance, distribution and sale of our information is enabled. If people read what is being done with their privacy after clcking “OK” they would be shocked.
The internet censorship of today is no different than the book burning of yesterday.
“Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are;”
“Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God’s image; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye.”
– John Milton (Areopagitica)
The book analogy goes further. Imagine they burned no books or banned any books from print or publication.
Instead imagine that what someone wrote and published would be read and seen differently by everyone who bought the book. Imagine that what one read in the book today would be different then when he reads it next week or next year. Imagine it all run by a global elite.
BEAUTIFUL.
They will never stamp out/control carrier pigeons, runners with kites( youths dispatched with notes) and face to face meetings. I bet we see a surge in HAM radio operators. Gee who used that?
Of course, not surprised. The Matrix is a gargantuan monster.

As a new Systems Engineer 35 years ago, one of my senior mentors told me on day 1, “Part of our job is to always to state the obvious”.
X-Twitter is NOT the only place “AI” Censorship and “User Experience” will as well as can be applied based on HUMAN defined, developed and input criteria.
X-Twitter just happens to be an easily identifiable objective for discussing examples and plans. So, citing it in the light of day as done by Sundance is very important.
There is not a single point of our human endeavors where integral software and computer chips are deployed that cannot be impacted by “AI” … from the car you drive, your communications, credit cards, social media accounts, voting, your Alexa driven House, Alexa Driven Appliances, anything your “5-senses experience” … the objective is a combination of “The Stepford Wives + The Forbin Project + Skynet + et al … controlled by the authors (past and present) of the Algorithms driving the AI. I say past because this is the legacy vision of ego maniacs like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, George Sorros, Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. want to permanently design into AI if their “brains” and “souls” cannot be transplanted.
In the late 90’s I recall a business article that said roughly 80% of the operating capital in Silicon came from or was controlled by, the fed government, directly or indirectly
I started out as a hardware and software engineer in the 70’s. AI languages were new then (list and rules based). As hardware got fast and memory cheaper, they ran better but it was still just rules, lists, decision trees, correlations, algorithms etc
Every 5 years or so, word would come down from ahigh to technical teams that we take a couple of weeks to assess the state of AI and report back on technical maturity, applications and market opportunities. The answer was always the same and we went back to building marketable products.
Those who control capital have always wanted this. It has inherent flaws that are less important now with sophisticated cloud systems, fast ubiquitous internet bandwidth, proprietary operating systems/platforms (Android, iOS, Windows). But at its core, AI is still human programming. Even the “learning” is more of the same.
It will collapse (perhaps disastrously) but I do not see people willing to give up their phones and the “free apps” which allow these systems to gather all the data and information needed to “learn”.
We willingly shackle ourselves the the free chains of our masters.

‘X’ Brings Back Censorship; Agenda to Remove Trump From Ballots Is Failing
By Crossroads with Joshua Philipp
https://rumble.com/v3dv76s-x-brings-back-censorship-agenda-to-remove-trump-from-ballots-is-failing.html
Freedom of Speech isn’t just about how one chooses to speak or express themselves, it’s about what information (speech) they choose to give their attention to.
Seems like an easy win in court for anyone willing to bring a lawsuit.
It has already happened to me on a local forum called “ the patch” when you start posting articles about how Tom Wolfe changed voter registration form to have a box to check for mail in ballot and can now ( new 2022) can a return address to a PO box ! They misdirect you all around to other articles so you can’t comment! So I had to just walk away from it they have made it too hard to speak!
Only here is there the stalking pop up ad.
Look carefully at the software (apps and device) that you are using. Who provided and controls the device, operating system, search engine, browser, apps and plugins that present the content of this website to you? Clean them all out the best you can then drop a tip in Sundance’s jar 😉
Not very tech savvy here.
Will try though.
-thanks sDee
Get a private browser (Brave is a good start but there are better). Then go through ALL the privacy settings to block unnecessary cookies, popups, aceess to your devices, location etc.
If you are using a phone. GO through all the application and privacy setting. Delete ALL apps you do not need and/or never use. Even the ones Apple, Google or your carrier put on. Deny location, camera and microphone acess for all apps you keep unless needed
Turn off all voice apps like Siri. If on a PC/laptop, disable microphone and camera.
Never use an app when you can use the browser – especially social media, messaging and email. Even “safe” apps use system services written by Google and Apple.
Use a Linux or Windows pc/laptop where you can – it is easier to control your software. iPhones and Android are purely information gathering and distribution devices.
That is a start 🙂
I’d love to see this posted every day, sDee.
It’s much needed and very helpful. I’m keeping a hard copy.
Thank you.
Your comment just made me notice that mine was gone after tormenting me for at least a week. Fingers crossed. Thanks!
This is an interesting article. Using real people online for training, in my opinion, has been happening for a long time. The comment section at many sites, including bitchute, have been using AI generated users to comment in order to distract from the truth of a video or form an opinion in a certain direction, for example, anti-semitic or anti-black hatred. This has been happening for a long time and, naturally, one would learn from this online project. That is what techies do. They learn when they deploy their tech and then they turn around upgrade the project. They have been doing this ever since they deployed ‘Jennifer Watson’ in Ga Tech.
And another thing is this. My impression is that the car manufacturers are trying to learn how to train a computer to drive a car from us. A friend of mine has one of the latest Toyotas. This thing has cameras every where and chimes when you veer onto the lines of road, etc. One can use the experience of drivers to train a computer how to drive. When the car issues the maintenance light then when you take it in they download the driving data and then delete the onboard data to free up space. I am certain that is what they are doing because you have millions of people training computers on how to drive in every situation imaginable. Plus, the safety record of the drivers are incorporated into the learning process. This idea is so good that it is being done.
Our Constitution which protects privacy, amongst other things, has been shredded into oblivion.
I don’t buy from Walmart very often, but the other day I tried to search for something just to compare prices. Before it would even let me SEARCH, I was required to sign in (NOPE).
I guess this control nonsense is what that was all about.
That kind of stuff is happening on many sites now as they refine ways to force our internet access to be accompanied by proof of identity. It early, so we see the stuff like that walmart problem.
Of course they say it is to stop “bots” and to protect our privacy. Sundance just explained what it really is all about.
Get on GAB. True free speech. Andrew Torba is a good man.
The people/technology in charge will throttle your access to GAB. If you manage to get there then your comments that are contrary to what TPTB want spread around will be throttled, shadow banned, or banned.
They will let you play around on GAB and think that you are interacting with like minded people but they will just not let your comments be seen by others. They will still let you see approved speech and advertisements.
The censorship in 2024 is going to be INSANE. It helped them to steal the 2020 election and 2024 is even more significant. Catastrophic Contagion was another “simulation” held in Oct of 2022 much like Event 201 in Oct of 2019 “predicted” CoVid. Same players (John Hopkins, WHO, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation). What they “learned” from CoVid was they have to increase “trust” in the government (not happening, IMHO) and control “misinformation”. BTW, there is no such thing as mis or dis information. There is only information. It is up to YOU to determine whether that information is TRUTH or not. Anyone claiming something is mis or dis information is simply trying to control what you think. 2024 is going to be a shit show. DO NOT COMPLY. https://catastrophiccontagion.centerforhealthsecurity.org/lessons-from-the-exercise-0

I think the twaddel censoring was forced on him by the darpa state
Ummm . . . yeah, Musk is a hypocrite. Did you really think he was any different from all the other “elites” who think they should have special privileges that the unwashed masses don’t?
P.S. Stop looking at what he SAYS and start looking at what he DOES!
What is darpa state?
Look they gave everyone fair warning when they changed the name to X.
Remove yourself from their simulations and don’t let them plant seeds in your head. Keep your hands in the dirt, literally, and read books from 1900 or prior. Learn your past to know your future.
I’ll stand with you on the direction you’re going; however, there are great books since 1900…so maybe less rigidity is needed.
Hard copies where possible.
Censors are going through all literary works now with their black markers.
(Should I have capitalized the “B” in “black? Asking for a friend…)
LOL I like that one.
I liked them all. She always has good stuff.
If you think this is just about X, you missed the point!
Hey, Elon … “bring back the little bird.” It was cute. The letter “X” is not.
Why?
That “little bird” may have been cuter than the X, but it still shat upon everything the same way as the “‘new rebranding” does. Just with less immediate involvement after programming the AI with it’s definitions as well to crawl the web with.
New face, new brand, same sh**

He didn’t mean to, of course.
But he did.
Tweetdeck was restricted to paying customers only recently, and more-seriously the old version that I actually found had some value was forcibly removed, and the new one from my point of view sucks. I therefore won’t pay (since there’s no value to me in the new one) and so I’m now back on the “ordinary web page/app” experience.
And let me tell you, boy is it enlightening.
You see, there’s a “For You” tab which is Twitter’s view of what you want to see. Except… no it isn’t, not really.
Its more what Musk wants to shove down your throat and, I suspect, in short order it will wind up being even more-polarizing in the general public and not only harden positions but become basically worthless from an “advertiser” or “subscriber” perspective in that those paying to get into that list will find no ROI.
No return on investment, you stop investing eventually. It takes a while, but you will.

“It’s more what Musk wants to shove down your throat.” You are correct and this is how google and others will shove information down your throat.
“Enhanced AI will act like an invisible gatekeeping system on the American internet.”
My understanding is pretty simple. “They” will see I am looking at and researching information that pertains to Conservative principles, therefore they will limit my ability to find articles pertaining to those principles.
I had a perfect example of that happen to me right before the 2022 election. I asked google, on purpose, to provide me with a list of Republican governorships that were up for reelection. The very first thing that popped up was, Katie Hobbs Running for Governor in AZ, complete with a “How to Donate”.
Start buying books and researching old web sites. Download and print important info and keep in a folder.
I’m using the Brave browser with its search engine. Prior to that, around ’20 I switched to DuckDuckGo until they got politicized…
Google is still good for searching politically agnostic stuff. Something hard since the Left tends to politicize everything.. including stuff like physics and mathematics.
There will always be a search engine. Eventually, we might have to use a proxy and go outside North America and Europe to find a good one.
Remember, the basis of the Internet is very robust when it comes to meddling. The trick is to avoid using high level applications. The actual internetworking tools ( layer 3 and below ) are quite powerful but user unfriendly.
We might have to go back to stuff like Gopher.
Have you tried MetaGer? It does not appear to be comprised!
You are being fooled. Go to apps on device, then scroll down and see under privacy they do track some stuff. Look for the browsers and search engine apps where the box does not list anything. There are a few.
that is why I never look at the for-you, and just do the general feed, and I mirror everything over to truth social
Funny that “For You” has the same initials as that other salutation , F-Y. HMMMM.
