911 and 77 (21)
From my own individual investigations the censoring of my articles is provoked by what I have said about christains - I will be misspelling that in numerous ways from now on by the way - and christainity more precisely.
Right now I don't yet know what the trigger text is that the censoring program is using but it isn't a case of changing a word or two or crossing out a whole sentence which is what the Nazis would have done but is actually a case of blocking the whole file, the complete web page.
My fear is that my whole web site will be taken down if I challenge this by continuing to write about this subject in the honest, truthful and essential way that is the only way that I have done and is the only way that I will do too.
So my efforts will be redirected towards finding an alternative ISP and will move my web site there but it takes time and I don't want to pre empt a move against me by continuing to write about kris-tians and krist-ainity, because all that will happen is that instead of losing a few pages on the subject I will probably lose the whole web site.
The censor is quite definitely focusing on that subject not as you might suspect on 9/11 or 7/7 and the two files concerned include paragraphs or a few sentences that could be construed as being offensive to that group or that organization, the one that people think is a religion but is really a nasty kind of system.
It is fast too. The way it works and I am in no doubt about this because my tests prove it, is to parse the file before it passes it. What does that mean? In effect the censoring program reads the web page before it lets it go off to the person who has clicked to see it.
I know for sure that I am right about the subject, the perceived insulted party, that it was an insult or offence that triggered the censor into action in the first place - in other words someone decided to complain and also very likely, to make a threat or issue an unltimatum, to force the ISP to take action. So the ISP turned it's censoring program to scan, parse, my files as they are requested.
Whether it does this to all web sites or just to targetted one's like mine is not something I know for sure but I suspect it is done on a site by site basis in order not to slow the overall data flow of the ISP but I could be wrong, it could be every web site they host that is so scanned.
In any case, whatever the facts are, I don't have any power to stop the censoring. So in the coming weeks I plan to look for other outlets for the subject that is being censored - I have a few in mind and it will be exciting to see as I just post my censored pages into these places!
