For the first time ever Google puts up a ‘Sensitive content warning’ on my blog
I received this message from Blogspot - there was NO INDICATION as to what was sensitive and why it breached their guidelines nor was there any means of engaging in a dialogue with those who made the decision.
So it is impossible for me to comply, even if I wanted to. What this amounts to is yet another attack on free speech. This blog has been going for 16 years and this is the first time that Google has taken this heavy handed approach.
I suggest Google/Blogspot reviews its own approach in the light of its own commitment to freedom of speech. No one is forced to read my blog and the placing of a warning to deter people suggests that that commitment is becoming paper thin.
I ask readers to ignore the warning and proceed and not accept Google's fear mongering. The content is not sensitive, it is controversial and contentious. The word 'sensitive' depends on who finds it sensitive. Starmer? Netanyahu? The Genocidaires?
So please go to
AND IGNORE THE WARNINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED IN YOUR PATH
Since I
first started a blog on Blogspot in 2008, I have had a few blogs taken down by
Google but in general they haven’t behaved in the same way as Youtube does in regularly
censoring and putting age restrictions on content.
Posting
a ‘sensitive content warning’ on a post is a first. It seems that Google is eager to
protect the holocaust denying Starmer from criticism.
So my request is please go to the post and defy Google’s attempt to protect the war criminal Starmer who has continued to supply arms and components
to Israel throughout its attacks on hospitals and its daily massacres in Gaza.
Clearly posting Starmer's pledges and his opposition to genocide whilst refusing to call the Holocaust in Gaza by its proper name has led to the social media companies to bend over backwards to protect this sociopath.
Starmer on
Srebenica's inhuman genocide
I can only
assume that pointing out Starmer’s hypocrisy in calling 8,000 dead in Srebenica
whilst denying that a quarter of million estimated deaths in Gaza is genocide
is rattling some cages.
Starmer refuses
to describe genocide in Gaza as genocide
After reading this post, I then 'older post' and get the message saying I have to sign in due to 'sensitive content' or something. What's going on ?
