Odd happening, The Gulch was content filtered

Posted by AJAshinoff 3 years ago to Technology

I was out in Scottsdale earlier today. On the way home I decided to stop at smarshburger. I had some time to wait as the oxygen deprived staff prepared my burger and decided to check the Gulch. The gulch was blocked via a web filter, This was a first, so I checked to ensure that I wasn't using smashburgers wifi, I wasn't, and could only conclude that TMobile had a filter that I didn't know about that listed, for some reason, Galtsgulchonline. I tried other website, gun and ammo related, and all came up except for shooters world.

I'm home now and things are back to normal.It is curious to me why this site would be content filtered anywhere?

The Gulch is not censored by the owners. That may be reason enough to get filtered in 2021.

  Stranger thing, I wasn't connected to the house wifi. My TMobile connection was active. I checked my phone, and aside from what I put there there are no other content filters. At home, I can browse to the Gulch and shooters world without trouble.

    Very strange indeed. Wonder if they are testing something new and you have accidentally made a discovery.

      My guess was the same. Just testing. Please don’t look behind the curtain.

      "Wonder if they are testing something new..." You never know.

    When at home are you using Tmobile or your local home network wifi? If using wifi, any Tmobile 'filtering' would not block access.

      At home I route through my wifi, at work as well. When I was in scottsdale I confirmed that I was on tmobile wireless. I've never seen that statement before, and it was definitely a content filter.

    That is odd. I have no answer for it. I have Verizon and never had a problem when I'm out.

More concerning to me is the fact that someone opposed to free thinking has identified us as 'not sheeple' and is taking steps (minor so far) to silence us. Now that we have been discovered, I fully expect that one day soon, I will get a 'page not found' when trying to get here, due to being blacklisted, similar to what happened to Parler. Parler made news because it was so popular, but I wonder how many other sites have been disabled.
