Blogger Changes...it really is getting ridiculous

 

Google and Yahoo destroyed themselves as "social media" by stopping Google= (where I had over 4 million views) and Yahoo closed its groups. Both are now advertising and personal info gathering organisations that allow you to only publish what THEY want.

You Tube shot itself in the head long ago and is suffering -because it got caught out and fined for spying on kids who used You Tube (they still spy on adults). It wants money, money, money and you will ONLY publish what they want or get videos and channels taken down if you use words such as "Covid" or "pandemic" and if you are a channel looking at crime then you cannot use words like murder but substitute "no longer living" as in: "Davis was found with his hands together (ie "tied") at the bottom of the well he was no longer living and the police found a knife closeby".

US companies are really pissed that they are allowed to spy and get information from its US citizens but other parts of the world they cannot. European law is not infringing on our freedom with these services -how are they declaring thios without realising that is what THEY are doing? News items on Yahoo we cannot watch or read unless we sign in and give our info (**** that). Or we go to a story and "We cannot allow you to see the news story because EU law is stopping us" -NO. EU law is stopping you from stealing our info and using it.

Face Book has now blocked notifications from US members (see last post) and now I get thios pop up on the blog: 

  "FollowByEmail widget (FeedBurner) is going away

You are receiving this information because your blog uses the FollowByEmail widget (FeedBurner).
Recently, the FeedBurner team released a system update announcement , that the email subscription service will be discontinued in July 2021.
After July 2021, your feed will still continue to work, but the automated emails to your subscribers will no longer be supported. If you’d like to continue sending emails, you can download your subscriber contacts."

So Blogger has started and we all know who owns Blogger (if you do not but you use Blogger...!!).  Incidentally, regarding the url to CBO you will notice it changres a lot to show it based in various countries. Constantly moving around. Ask yourself why?

As things are going it seems that fanzines will soon need to return and have to if we want any freedom to talk freely.
