In June, Substack officially introduced shadow-banning, a result of an update to publication settings that authors were not notified of, with a default to “ON” for “automatic moderation” for commenting.

Substack just revealed its hidden hand that has puzzled many of the contrarian writers as to why they don’t grow their subscribers. Which is a monetary thing for writers who monetize.

For now they’ve given each individual publication control to remove the automatic moderation feature, by toggling the control “OFF.” But this is a leading indicator of what the platform is developing and will move towards

James Delingpole on trusting the system:

This is just the kind of misplaced trust that the baddies who run the world find so very useful when they’re trying to get one over on us. They can rely on us not to read the small print. That’s because we assume that someone else will already have done it on our behalf. A lawyer maybe: one of those lawyers who are really into justice, as of course so many lawyers are. Or a scientific expert at one of those regulatory organisations that scrutinise medicines, food safety and so on. Or a campaigning journalist: they can always be relied on to speak truth to power! Or maybe an opposition MP seizing the opportunity to show up government incompetence.

The problem with all these saviour figures is that they don’t actually exist. Or rather they do - but only in the collective imagination. This collective imagination is a figment conjured up by an eco-system - education; the entertainment industry; the media - designed by the elites with the primary purpose of keeping the useless folic acid eaters in a state of deluded complacency.

To understand all this is, like fear of the Lord, the beginning of wisdom.

Assange Warns About the Fragility of Digital History

Assange said, “Digital archives allow them to erase history with a click. One day: ‘Page not found.’ The next: ‘It never existed.’ They control your memories. Keep paper books. Don’t trust the cloud.”

He warned that relying entirely on digital records could make information easier to remove, alter, or disappear over time. Assange urged people to preserve physical copies of important knowledge, that printed materials can serve as a lasting record when digital sources are no longer available.

The Latest Wildfire Panic is Refuted by Data

Wildfires are in the news. With a hot, dry summer it was bound to happen. And, naturally, this is bringing with it talk of climate change.

The Independent is screaming and rending its garments:

Europe is on fire – will the continent’s climate change deniers finally wake up?

The Guardian has an opinion piece calling for prosecutions for climate crimes. Twitter experts are calling for changes to the way we live our lives.

Prince William is saying stuff:

Wildfires ‘stark reminder’ of extreme climate challenge, says William

I suppose we…...
