8. The Ntrepid is strong with this one

You think you're being censored, when in fact you're being locked & alerted on for things like linking to neo-Nazi Youtube channels, for putting OTT conspiracy theories into forums besides Creative Speculation, and for generally pushing RW and/or pro-fascist-Russia POVs on a progressive, Democratic website. What part of that don't you understand?

Then you claim that US intel is running sockpuppets on DU to censor you. You link to an article but conveniently ignore the most prescient paragraphs:

Centcom spokesman Commander Bill Speaks said: "The technology supports classified blogging activities on foreign-language websites to enable Centcom to counter violent extremist and enemy propaganda outside the US."

He said none of the interventions would be in English, as it would be unlawful to "address US audiences" with such technology, and any English-language use of social media by Centcom was always clearly attributed. The languages in which the interventions are conducted include Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Pashto.

Centcom said it was not targeting any US-based web sites, in English or any other language, and specifically said it was not targeting Facebook or Twitter.


You lie by omission when you point to this article claiming that it shows there are US gov trolls/sockpuppets all over DU. That particular program is aimed at deterring young people from being recruited via social medium into ISIS.
