Censorship - Site Rules

[Cheryl Benson]

I am being blocked on what, 4 sites now for censorship, I got blocked from Revver again and waiting for email response, I had to send him a personal video once already. You can mention politicians names all you want, but a doctors or hosptial, the medical mafia and it gets rather frightening how much power they have, they rule here not the government/politicians or people for that matter. This happening on USA sites as well big time.

I don't want the boot from here, so if there are any censorship rules, can you please post them, understanding respect for each other of course.

Thank you

I'm not interested in censoring anything. ... except maybe unfounded hate speech.

The NING people have a policy that seems to just cover their ass. I don't think they'll be bothering us either but if they do We got a got story to take to a wider audience.

There Policy is below.

he won't even respond this time. Thank you for posting them and your's. I don't know if NING would just block me, or it would affect the whole group, sooo, I can think of ways around it but more work I don't if physically can do, I see the TOS can apply just like other sites including my own, ok onward
