YouTube memory hole - there was a YouTube channel “FresnoMediaRestorations” that had vintage 70’s rock concerts at local venues , Selland Arena ... as of a couple months ago, it was there. Now it’s gone. But more intriguing is all refs to it are now gone too. Google search acts like it never existed. When I pull up deleted videos they render not found but there is no reference to anything as to what it was or came from ... there seems to be a massive extra coordinated extended cross platform effort to purge things in this brave new world.
They can’t erase our memories (yet, anyway). Those of us “of a certain age” will always remember the freedoms we had. “You’re bored? Go outside and play. Be home by supper.” Hoping to be called on to say the blessing in the lunchroom. (Dallas ISD before M.Murray O’Hare.). Walking or riding my bike 1 mile to school. Sneaking down to Twin Falls to collect fossils in the creek banks. Marching with the drill team in the Cotton Bowl Parade. Camp outs at Camp Elowi with other Camp Fire GIRLS. Going on choir tour around tihe country and Canada. Living life in a society that was decent, orderly, crime free (we never closed the garage door unless we went on vacation out of town), and which promoted Judeo-Christian values without apology! God willing, we will get there again.

Twitter Permanently Removes Trump’s Account From Its Platform

Twitter has permanently removed President Donald Trump’s account from its social media platform, saying that his recent Twitter posts were “in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy.”
“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them—specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter—we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” Twitter said in a statement.
“In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.
“However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.”
Twitter cited two of the president’s most recent posts as justification for its action.
The first post read, “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

Subsequently, the president posted, “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.” This is the last Twitter post before Trump’s account was removed from the platform.
