My Blog is Still Here - for Now

Considering the content I have in my blog, thus far, and considering that Alphabet/Google is providing the platform for it, I'm a little surprised that my blog hasn't been cast into the dust-bin of digital oblivion.

After Trump was elected President in 2016, big tech went insane.

The insanity of big tech (and a large portion of the populace) only got worse as evident after Biden took office and the Covid Pandemic was unleashed.

Once in a while I'd login to my blog, expecting to receive a stern warning about my wrong-think, misinformation, disinformation or whatever was ordained heresy against "the narrative".

Despite not receiving such, I was still intimidated and did not post.

Recently I had a realization — its just a blog.

If Google nukes it, so what?

If anything it would confirm that big tech does not allow free speech.

It would also mean that my blog is, somehow, significant enough to bother getting rid of. Even if it is done with a single keystroke or by an automated algorithmic system, somebody had to have at least made an effort, at some point, to zap blogs like mine.

Reading through my old posts was like opening a time capsule into the events back then and what was on my mind at the time. Now I regret not posting all these past years because some really interesting stuff to write about during that time.

So once again I shall afflict the Internet with my prattle and see if my obscure blog gets scrubbed out of existence because of my opinions and for questioning things.
