  • Prepare for the Great Decoupling – Deplatforming moves downstream to WordPress.com and Mailchimp

    Legal Insurection ^ | 11-16-2020 | William A. Jacobson
    In the past day there have been two very disturbing developments in internet deplatforming. We are all familiar with deplatforming from major social media services such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as those platforms outright silencing important news that harms Democrats, like the Biden family influence peddling scandal. Twitter regularly now places notices or restrictions even on Trump’s tweet on the allegation that his opinions on the election are disputed. In the four years Trump as been the subject of dishonest and malicious conspiracy claims, particularly Russia collusion, I can’t remember Twitter ever placing such restrictions on the tweets...
  • The Treehouse is Deplatformed… (Conservative Treehouse/Sundance)

    The Conservative Tree House ^ | 11-15-20 | Sundance
    Most CTH readers are likely aware of the term “deplatforming.” Unfortunately the big tech control mechanism to shut down speech & assembly has now arrived on our doorstep. One week after the 2020 presidential election, The Conservative Treehouse received the following notification: …”given the incompatibility between your site’s content and our terms, you need to find a new hosting provider and must migrate the site by Wednesday, December 2nd. What does this mean? It means CTH is being kicked-off the WordPress website hosting platform because the content of our research and discussion does not align with the ideology of those...
  • Playing off Automattic (WordPress) against ABC (YouTube) for Ad-Free YouTubes

    You can post YouTubes for your own viewing with any ads filtered out on a free WordPress website. The WordPress parent company, Automattic, doesn't have a commercial agreement with YouTube/ABC, so any long, music-quality YouTube videos you post on your own, free, private WordPress website, any YouTube ads are filtered out. This is about non-self-hosted WordPress, how it can be used to go around for-pay subscription services like Pandora to get long music-quality videos without any commercials. This is the opposite of self-hosted. Self-hosted means, you have your own web domain, you pay monthly or yearly to your Internet Service...
  • Trump White House Launches Website for Victims of Tech Censorship — Where You Can Add Your Name

    GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 5/15/2019 | Jim Hoft
    Two weeks ago President Trump lashed out at Facebook after several top conservatives were banned from the platform. Today the White House launched a website for Americans to share their stories on bias from tech companies. They may be surprised with the number of Americans who add their name. The tech giants are not just targeting popular conservative accounts they are shadowbanning and censoring content from tens of thousands of influential conservative Americans.
  • WordPress.com deplatforms those critical of Islam

    Jihad Watch ^ | May 15, 20191 | Marc
    WordPress.com has deplatormed those critical of Islam. I am very disappointed having been a contributor to the WordPress code in the distant past, and I have assisted in responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities to them on a voluntary basis in the recent past. I did see it coming though. While it would not be possible to restrict use of the WordPress source code https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress which is publicly available and built by volunteers, and distributed at wordpress.org, its is "open source". wordpress.com is very different. It is a commercial enterprise which has some free options, the codebase being very similar, but...
  • Is "Statistics Shadowbanning" the Latest Big-Tech Salvo Against Conservatives?

    Canada Free Press ^ | 10/22/18 | Selwyn Duke
    So that's Big Tech, advancing little minds and big lies--and inviting big destruction With perhaps the most significant midterm election in decades nigh, big tech’s censorship of conservatives has kicked into high gear. And while Facebook’s recent purge of right-leaning pages is obvious and has made news, perhaps just as destructive is the stealth censorship. A good example may be the report of WordPress’ “statistics shadowbanning” of Whatfinger News. Whatfinger is an increasingly popular news aggregator that is run by military veterans; it’s like a non-establishment version of Drudge, only more comprehensive, more conservative, and more interesting.

    Which state gets the biggest share of its budget from the federal government? Is it California, the left’s bizarre alternative universe?Is it Illinois, the poster child for big-government excess? Nope, not even close. As a matter of fact, those two jurisdictions are among the 10-least dependent states.And if you’re guessing that the answer is New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut, or some other “blue state,” that would be wrong as well.Instead, if you check out this map from the Tax Foundation, the answer is Mississippi, followed by Louisiana, Tennessee, Montana, and Kentucky. All of which are red states! So does...

    Last night, the Linux Mint team announced that someone had hacked their servers and started pointing user downloads to malicious ISO images for the Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon edition. Our Linux editor already covered the initial details of the attack, which we recommend reading before going forward with this article. Since then, in the last ten hours, the Linux and infosec communities have been working hard to investigate what happened and how the hackers operated. Linux Mint Team: They hacked us via our WordPress site The first to provide an answer was Clement Lefebvre, leader of the Linux Mint project,...

    Commenters could cross-site script. Wordpress developer Automattic is urging users to urgently update their installations of the company's publishing platform to fix a critical vulnerability that could lead to attackers taking over entire sites. Jouko Pynnönen of security vendor Klikki.fi discovered a cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in WordPress that allows commenters to inject Javascript into sites. When admin users check the comments to moderate them and execute the Javascript they contain attackers can gain full control of the target WordPress site through the plugin and theme editors. The vulnerability takes advantage of the TEXT data type in the MySQL database...

    If there is one thing I hate, it is spam. I hate spam email, spam snail mail, and most of all, spam comments on my blog. I take great pains to keep spam comments off Political Realities. At the same time, I want to make it easy for normal commenters to leave their thoughts on the blog, even if I disagree with what they have to say. That said, this post may only be of interest to those of you who operate WordPress blogs, but it is important enough for me to share in a post of its own. Every...

    All of these security weaknesses, it turns out, could allow an unidentified group of hackers to use “brute force” attacks on WordPress installations and form a huge “botnet” of infected servers. A report by Dan Goodin in Ars Technica details the threat. Unnamed attackers “are using more than 90,000 IP addresses to brute-force crack administrative credentials of vulnerable WordPress systems, researchers from at least three Web hosting services reported. At least one company warned that the attackers may be in the process of building a “botnet” of infected computers that’s vastly stronger and more destructive than those available today.”

Your thoughts about this software option would be much appreciated and respected.

    An anti-Islam blog that failed to remove inflammatory comments from a few of its readers will be permanently taken down by its hosting company, WordPress, on January 6 as the result of a number of complaints filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The site, “Bare Naked Islam: It isn’t Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you” (www.barenakedislam.com) will be taken down in two weeks by WordPress according to the website’s owner, Bonnie (*last name withheld). Bonnie, in an exclusive interview, told Big Government that WordPress suddenly blocked her site “around Thanksgiving” and sent her a message...

    Toronto Sun ^ | 2011-11-06 | Connie Woodcock
    One sunny afternoon in early fall, a bunch of my neighbours were standing around watching a sick raccoon die on somebody’s front lawn. In the old pre-gun registry days, someone would have gone home, got a shotgun or .22 and put the poor creature out of its misery. But, as one said to me, his gun wasn’t registered and he didn’t want to be seen with it. Someone might call the cops or a cruiser might happen by. That, in a nutshell, is what’s wrong with the gun registry: It makes criminals out of perfectly ordinary people doing nothing wrong,...

    IntroductionAn application programmer spends six months perfecting a set of components commonly needed in the large company that employs him. Some of the components were particularly tricky and key pieces required very high quality, reliable and complex exception handling. It has all been tuned to run quickly and efficiently. Thorough testing has demonstrated his success. Part of his idea of “perfection” was to build in a way that the software, even many of the individual components, could easily be reused. But it is surprisingly likely that no one outside of a small group within the project will ever hear of...
