De-indexed

Sometime in 2023, evidently, this little blog was what is termed "de-indexed", that's to say, it cannot now be found on Google. Half a decade before, the blog was "shadow-banned", flagged for burying at the bottom of the heap in Google's search results. At the time of the shadow-banning my readership was strangled to a few stragglers, and since the de-indexing I've been denied even my stragglers. And inasmuch as nearly all my traffic owed to search engines, there has been since last year no practical purpose to my posting to this blog.


We call it "Big Tech censorship", but that's not strictly accurate: it's been established by now in court that internet censorship in America is directed by the FBI and CIA, the Homeland Security and State Departments, and the Biden White House, etc., notwithstanding that such censorship is forbidden by the first amendment to the Constitution and first provision of the Bill of Rights. Because this is post-democracy. 


As to Google, it used to be that Google's motto was "Don't be evil"; they've forgotten the "Don't". And as to me, I've applied myself to undertakings beyond the scope and reach of this or any blog. Under a pseudonym.
