Soft Censorship on Free-Speech Twitter?
We don’t get much engagement on Twitter (X, whatever). At ~63,000 followers we’re hardly a huge account, but an engagement rate of around 0.07% is incredibly low.
Our content generally gets low-double digit “likes”.
For what it’s worth, checkers that claim to able to detect these things say we aren’t shadowbanned.
We’ve accepted that we’re in the soundproof free speech booth, allowed to say whatever we want as long as no one hears us.
But, every so often, we get something to pierce the shield (at least a little bit). That happened on the 21st of November when the Covid Inquiry report was published, and this tweet got far more engagement than usual:
Having been viewed close to 50,000 times in roughly 24 hours, the tweet seems to have disappeared from our profile and all engagement with it halted immediately.
As the screengrab shows, the tweet was published at 3.57pm on November 21st, that would place it at the spot indicated by the arrow on our feed:
…and yet, it’s not there.
It wasn’t taken down, but it’s only possible to find it by doing a word search for the text.
It’s just weird.
I’m not saying we’re being singled out for special treatment, just demonstrating what might be the kind of automatic processes that shut down anyone reaching a larger audience than they’re supposed to.

“There is freedom of speech,
but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.”
– Idi Amin
This is the norm fixed in the UK tyranny that is trying to kill all freedoms that we took for granted. Now is the time to organise those who are awake to devise systems that work for real democracy, a horizontal democracy where all top-down authority is only found in a museum.
Good old “Freedom of speech but not reach” that the censorship queen who runs X has for her motto. Yes Elon appointed her to run the company. It will only allow what doesn’t cost it $$$.
Just use Substack. It was the ONLY social media site that didn’t censor.

Have you used the machine?
is it less intrusive than an xray?
I posted the link as an example of Substack caving to the Online Safety Act. It’s happened in the last couple of days.
Thanks for that Link.
“That post couldn’t be found”
The same thing happens with YouTube comments. If you call out Israeli Jews as genocidal murderers, comments rapidly disappear. If you 1 in 200 people in the UK is an irrelevant demographic, your comments become hidden even from yourself.
Thee is a reason Jews and Zionists buy up Western media and it is to lie with impunity whilst censoring the truth.

Proving that no company in there right mind would advertised on
something with a 0.07% view rate.
Which begs the question is your 63,000 followers even 0.07% of that?
I would give you engagement if I were on Twitter. Have a web site comment instead.
Nobody in the regime or elite class wants people to think in the office guardian style
It would be catastrophic
“Freedom of speech not freedom of reach”
Wasn’t that the ‘phrase’ guess they meant it.
Musk’s mate Trump with Albert Bourla of Pfizer recently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB99Hw9teK0
Did MAGA voters think they were voting for Bourla to be shown into the White House?
Getting a deal on pharmaceutical pricing was always part of Trump’s agenda.
Collaborating with Big Pharma was always part of Trump’s agenda.
24/7 TDS!
Again, TDS is the dumb fucks like you that support the motherfucker.
I don’t support Trump. Earlier this year I was calling Trump a dickhead for declaring himself king. What I support is the intelligence operation behind Trump in its war against the MRC. I support it because there’s no other option. There’s no other option because humanity is overwhelming retarded. And your TDS is a prime example.
I don’t know where you’re from, but in the US, the only ones that still support Trump are the Qtards, Cucks, and Jews. Which are you? LO fucking L.
You see, I don’t think the solution to intolerance is yet more intolerance. I’d prefer to live in a world with ‘Qtards, Cucks and Jews’, as long as everyone could be a little tolerant of one another, because uniformity is not enlightenment, because life texture is enriching, because life’s perspectives come from all quarters, because a little humility goes a long way. A2
Well, sometimes we should tolerate only so much. That’s how it is. Justice, liberty, freedom, things like that aren’t handed to us. Those supporting that asshole are part of the problem and need to be reminded of what they’re supporting. The person insulted me with the TDS bullshit and just like in person, I don’t take things like that quietly.
Btw, I stole that phrase above about who still supports Trump from Stew Peters.
But, I’ll try better to temper myself. Been a little more perturbed than usual about what’s happening to my country.
Did MAGA voters think they were voting for Bourla to be shown into the White House?
Up to 70% off the normal price for medication, making them cheaper, is a win-win for american people against mega pharma.
RFK Jr. is doing sterling work.
Does anyone here mentioned sterling silver? Silver bullion??
The more pertinent question might be: Why do the majority of people believe being on pharma drugs is the way to go?
YOU were always the disease; their covaid$ death squirt the cure.

“..professor at the University of Chicago, John Mearsheimer (best known for his theory of offensive realism) reminds us, the US “does not tolerate left-leaning governments”.
What do the guys call Obama and Biden’s 12 years if not left-leaning governance?
Offensive realism?? = More questions than answers.
Tommy Robinson and Raja Miah both credit Musk [1] with elevating the ethnic rape gang issue to the level of international attention — thereby forcing the UK government to announce an enquiry. This appears to be one of the primary purposes behind the acquisition of Twitter.
[1] I’m here using the label “Musk” to refer to the intelligence operation fronted by an actor named Elon.
enquiry?
like the covid enquiry?
I didn’t say there’s going to be an enquiry (of any sort). Rather, they were forced to announce one. And then they were forced to delay, delay, delay!
The Truth Omission is alive, slicing and dicing.
The main problem, now that capitalism is close to fulfilling its historic
promise of liberating everyone from work is “what are we going to do
with all our free time ?” Will those freed from work up to the task of
‘doing something’ with their freedom, or will they rely on market forces
(others) to organise their freedom for them ?
The latter.
2/3 of a population are crowd people with group think who need a Nanny.
Two thirds? Try 80+%. After 100,000 years of tribal living over 80% can’t even handle peer pressure. That’s all it takes to crack 80% of the species. That’s pathetic. I mean, they’re your peers. They’re as messed up as you are or they’d be someone else’s peers and be as messed up as them. Hardly the group to yield to on any issue.
Add to that the fact that 90% can’t question authority and 90% turn into power tripping wankers when given authority over others. Tribal “herd instinct” is still very strong.
Precisely. A good graph telling it as it is. My figures says 65-75% normal people, but in some kind of uniform this figure can grow up to 90%
This is quite a high number, and I dont feel like a hero trying to be between the top 10%
They will play video games while their brains degrade until they are unable to even wipe their own arses and definitely unable to communicate such a request to another human.
Meee Meee Meee
“capitalism is close to fulfilling its historic promise of liberating everyone from work”

A Book: The Global Trap by Hans-Peter Martin & Harald Schumann, written in the 1990s, foresaw our future:
The book opens with a fly-on-the-wall account of a seminar attended by the leaders of major corporations. It revealed that the biggest manufacturers are not simply shifting production away from the industrial countries, but foresee a new century where their labour needs will plummet.
Talk at the gathering was all about the 20:80 society, where 20 per cent of the population will suffice to keep the world economy going and the unemployed 80 per cent will be pacified by a diet of ‘tittytainment’ – ie the modern equivalent of bread and circuses but without nearly so much bread.
Add to this Aldous Huxley’s warning:
“There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it.”
and we’ve arrived in 2025.
The state is corrupt; they need people like her to keep their lies hidden.
She is like Starmer, Blair, Johnston, Trump, and the rest of the corporate elite. She is a weak woman who must stare at the bedroom ceiling all night, knowing she is there to protect the evil force controlling our lives. She has sold her soul, and there is no going back.
Too bad the Queen knighted Neil Ferguson in 2001 for his computer models calling for slaughter of millions of animals in UK.
knighted for murder, sounds about right.
Absolutely. And the fact they chose a woman to head the inquiry is part of the deception. A crusty, white-haired pompous man, even if he had said the same things, couldn’t have carried off the whitewash so effectively.
She just looks and sound stupid.
C.J. Hopkins put it best – in an article published on your website. “Free Speech Twitter” (or X) is a bad joke. If it’s any “consolation” for you, the situation in germany is even worse right now when it comes to being able to make important information public. You know, I’ve written two books about Technocracy – years of hard work and collecting all the necessary data/information. If I’m lucky – IF – I sell one to three copies every quarter. Almost no resonance – even after paying quite a bunch of money for advertisements.
Because in my country, nobody will help you spreading the information. German “alternative” media should rather be called MAM, als Iain Davis so eloquently put it: “Mainstream Alternative Media”. 90% Gatekeepers, Limited Hangouts etc. Propaganda and disinformation day in, day out. I’m all on my own (aside from a handfull of other honest authors and publicists). But I won’t give up. Just telling you because I know how hard it can be to be heard. And with the “help” from AI, it won’t be long from now ’till our “overlords” will be able to restrict us even further and filter out any information they don’t want the public to know about. Brave new world indeed.
And concerning the general public – they don’t really wanna know, it seems, because they won’t help either. I hate to say it, but my country is f*cked.
If I had the money, I would support you with enough of it so you could continue your great work without having to worry. Unfortunately, I don’t. But I will do my best to promote your website.
So thanks again for not giving up and publishing all those brilliant articles.
American Hopkins lives in Germany and is now permanently suspected of being a “Nazi.” Yet he has an almost anti-fascist attitude, for example when he constantly reproaches his host country for the “Holocaust and Nazi crimes.” In reality, he voluntarily adopts the only historical narrative permitted in post-war “transatlantic” Germany. Perhaps he is too ideologically similar to his persecutors, and that is precisely why they cannot stand him?
https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/a-visit-by-the-german-thought-police
Why stir up unnecessary tensions?
Germany raised up against City of London and their dominance in first the unreasonable conditions of the Versailles Treaty and next their influence in the stock crash of 1929 with hyper inflation and mass unemployment.
Hitler kicked out the private central bank in Germany, made it public, and immediately the economy conditions with a miracle improved.
As revenge the City of London paid for WWII to crush Germany completely.
So Germany doesnt like to raise this sensible question in public, to not get the entire world to bomb them again. On the other hand they know they at least had some issues right and reasons.
So Germany want to chose time and place for revision if any. Isnt that natural?

Presumably, not only Hopkins but also his persecutors have a misconception about true National Socialism due to indoctrination. For the libertarian Hopkins, anything that involves state control is Nazi, yet at the same time his concept of Nazism has nothing to do with race, as it does for true National Socialists. His fake state pursuers, on the other hand, consider Hopkins a Nazi because he equates their fake state with Nazism.
This absurdity cries out for the question of questions: How much of a Nazi must one be to protect the white race and one’s own people from racial and cultural extinction? Is it enough to be a kind of right-wing populist Nazi-light, i.e., not to harbor any warlike intentions to conquer living space? As we know, no, because even right-wing populists and “civic nationalists” who call for “controlled immigration” are already being branded as “Nazis.”
Could it not be that the same earthly forces (“entity”) that established the prevailing Nazi concept to ward off all attempts at survival by the white species are precisely those that seek to eliminate us through racial mixing? Indeed, is it not even highly probable? And isn’t it just as likely that these forces hostile to us have long since formed a “state within a state,” destroying us from within?

On topic of cj Hopkins,
His flat was searched yesterday by German police and his computer was taken.
He is charged with distributing his book which depicts a swastika underneath a medical mask.

Pot calling the kettle black.
Latest Government Newspeak.
Narrative Integrity. Meaning: censorship.
…….
My favourite non-government non-newspeak
Conspiracy Theories. Meaning: spoiler alerts…
I gave up on facebook and twitter yonks ago – and the pub for that matter. By the way, a chap came to my door last week trying to sell me broadband (I think). He got on about mobile phones and when I said I haven’t got a mobile phone he looked stunned. “How do you communicate”, he asked. I said, “You’re standing there and I’m communicating with you now” and he asked how I’d communicate with him if he was at the other end of the street. (I’ve got a gammy leg these days so I’d probably have to send a him a letter.) Well, the next time he came to the door I invited him in for a cup of tea. It was a cold day and I wasn’t so busy that day. Nothing like a cup of tea for communicating with people we hardly know.
They say 50% of Internet today is done by AI.
At least OffG seems to have been heard and read by many thousands living things.
Its worse when you write things and only AI reads you, but pretend a lot of readers liked your ideas (the robots). You stand there alone, staring eyes………Libertango.
https://ok.ru/video/6815435065952 .
dont forget the comments on forums.
You seem AI.
Thanks, but you were wrong. You overrated both AI and yourself.
AI is so bad at certain sites that it even gets basic facts wrong from events in the last 12 months.
The PTB are relying on the pig-ignorance of sheep in allowing AI to rewrite not only ancient history but that within our own lived experience.
So far the only AI that answers accurately and honestly about covid treatments is AlterAI (alter.systems). Give it a try, but never trust any of them. Always test to evaluate.
This is also my experience. For some time I felt Internet was some big ‘change reality board’. New narratives of the same subject pop up all the time.
Its extremely frustrating to see and hear and read 2+2 = anything else than 4.
But……I guess its the liar and his work.

I find the whole attention sympathy – censor grift boring.
It’s usually from the same type of mindsets who post “Jesus is King,”
and those posts get loads of fake views and reposts.
I’m loathed to say it….AI has gone general and it’s on steroids. Any pointed social media comment that I make is stone dead on posting.
AI has many objectives but the fascist, technocratic surveillance state cannot succeed without it. Other objectives are to increase national debts before the big crash, and to deprive the hoi polloi of water and electricity
AI is like the erstwhile Google. Use it to your own advantage…
And then go beyond its confidently misguided messages. The more contact with it you have the more you realize both its benefits and its faults….
and the more you teach it, how to formulate sentences, questions etc., the way that you do – teaching it how to use language, what words – filling out your digital twin and all the time with one’s guard up and having to check everything anyway in a shrinking search environment. sounds like a complete sham to me.
The suppression of progressive websites and blogs began in earnest in April 2017. My blog at that time was getting 13,000 hits per months and was immediately and drastically reduced at that time. The powers-that-be are continually looking for ways to further repress anyone who opposes their perverse and deviant agenda. https://globalupdate.substack.com/
You need not oppose, even occasionally. The psychos are look for failure to declare allegiance to them.
That is the definition of shadowbanning. The two-way mirror world of internet, supposed social media aspects, is monolithic surveillance and control environments that are absolutely opaque to the user-victim. This post of mine will say… pending… , will show and print on a pdf, but if i come back later my post is gone sometimes until 24 hours later. By this time, my post has been out of the flow of responses and goes unseen and unread, w/ zero thumbs up or down. Our best options are to withdraw from the two-way mirror world and somehow rekindle local physical social spaces where petty tyrants can’t overlord our lives.
Yep, 24 hour delay by our pour-salt-on-snail censor Admin. Bon appetit, Sam! Happy Turkey Day!
You have a lovely day yourself, Sandy!
You’re not the only one – happens with my comments here too.
I love the guiltlessness of the overlord, no? Just keeps on, keepin’ on typical bureaucrat. ;-(
If pending censurship didnt exist, I could have saved millions of lives of small vulnerable kids with my pending comments to the global community!
I can take it, but what about the vulnerable people out there?! Just asking a Q.
Its really a two pronged approach. You’re ‘nudged’ towards corporate sites like Twitter partly for business reasons and partly because they’ve got the resources to develop and incorporate software to tweak the visibility of posts. The counter to that is that — in theory — anyone can set up a website, publish articles and solicit comments. This freedom can be illusory, though, because of laws like the various Online Safety Acts which opens site operators to criminal and civil liability. Like all repressive legislation its initial justification is protecting children. So we’re effectively snookered. It won’t stop free speech but it will ensure that its a minority taste.
Also – notice how we’re constantly reminded that at least we have freedoms compared to ‘over there’.
Neither the UK nor the US had real freedoms. Neither has the slightest interest in protecting Palestinian children, land rights of Palestinians repeatedly raped by Jewish thugs etc etc.
The UK ‘Prime Minister’ is a lie level Nazi orderly, doing what he is told by Zionist master race yobbos.
The POTUS is little better, rent boy for Miriam Adelson n all.
One of the few true representatives of US electors is resigning after receiving death threats from Zionists.
There needs to be a mirror organisation to MOSSAD that assassinates rich and influential Jews involved in funding and executing the Gaza Holocaust…..
Never been to Twitter, isn’t it owned by Musk? Um.
Never been to England either, but I kind of like the Beatles.
You got it. Thanks Ann in Oregon. From Al in Washington.
Soft Censorship on Free-Speech off guarding.
try to comment and then it goes into pending.
regarding an article screaming being censored.
hypocrites
wokey righty msm plus e, who censor and shadow ban via pending approval, cry and scream censored shadow banned when there comment gets viewed by 50.000 bots!
Like a certain comment section, the dead internet and comment section theory is real.
I avoid use of the word ‘censorship’ unless the state is overtly, or provably covertly, involved in the curtailment of speech or expression, and I think that’s very likely in the case of X, which plausibly is enmeshed with, and probably has funding from, worldwide state intelligence apparati, if not being a direct creation of them.
If true, then any algorithmic manipulation of post visibility is, indeed, censorship, and I’m sure Off-Guardian is not beloved of the X algorithm.
The purpose of multi-national gangs such as Five Eyes is deniability. If something is illegal and may blow up, just ask a foreign partner to do it. US can also issue a covert order to any enterprise, that it may not reveal by law.
True, but I just ask myself if the space, physical or digital, is publicly provided, and thus an entitlement of a taxpaying citizen. If so, the censorship is the right word and concept. If not, then freedom of association and property rights are the salient aspects.
…then censorship…
For those old enough to remember when TikTok was unfettered…here’s what happened next –

So sure, let’s recognise the “…automatic processes that shut down anyone reaching a larger audience than they’re supposed to” – but if we fail to call out the driving forces behind these changes, we’re just p*ssing in the wind.
A printer, a container full of A4-paper packages, and a lot of nigga friends to distribute it.

I just accessed your tweet from your profile. So it’s still there.
(I tried to paste in a screenshot here but it didn’t work.)
My own twitter traffic decreased sharply a while ago and I assumed I was getting the old shadow ban. Also, I was banned temporarily two or three times and each time was for “promoting hate speech” – by querying the trans lingo.
Meanwhile the Zio fellatio is relentless and every one of those sycophantic tweets gets a huge stream of equally sycophantic reactions. I sometimes doubt there’s a single actual human being involved in any of this psycho-saccharine tsunami.
What’s your twitter handle?
This is me:

Zio fellatio?
Looking at your profile on twitter, your look like a Palestinian, Hamas, terrorist trannie.
Go live with the backwards Moslems to see how they treat your kind.

Free speech only exists in pubs, where it began.
You are wrong; free speech belongs to everyone. Laws against free speech only apply to our legal person, fictitious id.
Agree. Nobody would open their mouth until and unless they have got a couple of pints.
THEN you get everything; spitting out, confessing the world, coughed up, all secrets on the table,
Better stick to Facebook or WeChat…

Thanks Andre
This has been happening even way before COVID.
It makes you wonder why did they ban people out right when shadow banning is more effective and harder to prove.
Outright banning was on purpose.
ALSO WHY IS EVERYTHING I POST PENDING? NO LINKS. WTF
The machine. AI is here among us and refuse to go away. Not even SamAdm can control the monster anymore. 😊 .
One can be sure that AI has now made this entire censorship process absolutely effortless for the mafia State.
At first I had the suspicion that this might be a UK/EU issue, but the post does indeed also not show in the US (and not on Xcancel either).
Might be interesting but if I do a word search “To be clear, when baroness whatshername” it does direct me to your tweet.
https://x.com/OffGuardian0/status/1991898702320128476
If you don’t, perhaps that suggests that your account can no longer interact with that tweet but it is still there. Maybe this will tell us a bit more about how the shadow-banning works.
