However, we will not be logging into or using this account, and we have now deleted our other social media accounts and will no longer post any articles on social media.
We will maintain our video accounts and Telegram channel, where we can disable comments.
This ends two decades of using social media for me and my businesses, since I started using the Internet and Internet newsgroups in 2000 and 2001, after seeing that the Internet was survive the year 2000.
In the early days, the Internet and social media groups were a great asset to truth seekers, allowing us to bypass corporate media censorship and bring our message directly to the people.
We were using social media before Facebook and Twitter even existed, and even before Google sold search results advertising through “pay-per-click” (PPC). We used to use Overture, before Yahoo bought them for over a billion dollars, and before Google came in and started dominating internet search and PPC advertising.
When Facebook became popular, we established our brand and spent a lot of money promoting our Facebook page for my online business, and then we also started a Facebook page for Health Impact News when we start in 2011.
Before Facebook banned us, we had 2 million followers that we had collected over almost a decade. Facebook also became the best place to advertise our products as we were able to tailor our ads to very specific people who knew the profile of our consumers. They quickly became the Internet’s best platform for advertising, because people willingly posted information about themselves and their interests.
But what became a great tool for companies advertising their products, also became a great tool for intelligence agencies like the CIA, FBI and others. These social media giants not only became resources to monitor and track people, but also to influence what they think and believe through the use of fake users, which we called “trolls”. At one point, it was estimated that more than half of the user accounts on Facebook were fake users, and Twitter also had a large percentage of those fake users that Elon Musk complained about before buying it.
In 2014 I published an article commenting on an article written by Glenn Greenwald based on Edward Snowden’s leaked National Security Agency (NSA) documents showing that British and American intelligence agencies were paying “trolls” to sway online opinion and destroy people’s reputations. I’ll see:
Internet trolls may be trained government agents according to the leaked document
Health Impact News was a frequent target of social media trolls trying to discredit our reporting on the dangers of vaccines, among other things. I learned early on how to spot these trolls and how to crush them, and I always had a staff monitoring our social media accounts, especially Facebook.
Today, here in 2022, even secondary social media platforms, which are predominantly right-wing political groups that were banned from places like Facebook and Twitter (actually Pinterest was the first to ban us on because of our articles on vaccines), they also seem to be dominated by trolls, and it is impossible to know who is behind some of these platforms and who they are selling their data to.
Additionally, we’ve developed a culture of self-righteous, entitled users who somehow believe it’s their “right” to post comments and criticize our content, or use other people’s social media accounts to promote their own agendas and websites.
If you delete their comments, you end up getting an email with attacks like this:
I see you censored my comment like the left does. May the Lord reward you for hiding the truth.
After seeing a few different accounts trying to post comments on a recent article where we mentioned Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on one of these alternative social media platforms, where these users were saying things that were almost identical, I looked at their accounts and went see right away they were fake accounts, and probably paid trolls. In fact, it’s entirely possible that all the accounts belonged to a paid troll, making it look like multiple people agree with them, a very common tactic.
So I made the decision that it was time to stop using social media. Not just because of trolls, but because all of these platforms are now used for surveillance and tracking, and the benefits of social media no longer justify allowing our enemies to track our readers when they use these platforms.
We leave our social media buttons on articles for people to share for now, because people are going to share them anyway, but they’ll probably disappear soon too.
All comments on our articles will now only be done here on our own websites, where people can use anonymous usernames and emails when posting a comment, and not be tracked by Big Tech and the government.
We stopped using Google Analytics last year and now use a software program called “Matomo”, which only exists on our servers and is never shared with anyone else. So when you see the top articles of the week and the number of views for that article, it’s all from our own internal stats and NOT from Google.
I know that these new generations of young people feel that they have some sort of right to come here and express their opinions and criticize or attack the articles we post here, but that is simply not true.
This is a free platform. We don’t even accept donations. No product is sold here, so there is no supplier-customer relationship where we have to provide customer service.
If you see something you don’t like or don’t agree with, simply stop reading and continue, and even unsubscribe if you want. This is your right. But criticizing and attacking me is not your right, and is generally not tolerated here, which is why you see so few comments on our articles.
Comments that are genuine and contribute to the topic of the article are welcome, and we receive most of these positive comments about our articles on the Created4Health.org website, and these comments end up being a blessing not only to me, but also for others to read them.
Courtesy and respect are gone in today’s culture, and I often have to delete a comment instead of posting it, when I might otherwise post it because it has useful information, but the person either starts the comment with something like: “You are very ignorant about this subject…” – or, after masterfully writing a great comment, they end it with something like: “Let’s see if you actually post this comment because you suppressed the truth in the past…” or some other rude statements that have no place here.
I’m very old school and grew up with the internet. I remember the days when there was only print media outside of television, and if someone wanted to express an opinion or challenge an article in a print publication, they had to write a “letter to the editor” and the publication would have a special section. of their publication where they would publish some, but certainly not all, of these letters, and then give their reply.
But it was 100% up to the editor, and back then no one would shout “CENSORSHIP” for not posting dissenting opinions, and of course they would never post attacks and threats. People would feel honored if their comment was published.
In the past, social media was a great way to connect with friends, family and others, but today it has become a very dangerous place, where hostile eyes watch everything you say, like, dislike , etc., and over time they will be linked. to our social credit score for tyrants.
So for us, it’s time to say, no thanks. let’s pass
