So yesterday the biggest Telco (Telstra) blocked access to various websites. The second major competitor (Optus) copied today.
The websites include:
- Voat
- Zerohedge
- 8chan
- 4chan
I am only posting here because I am using Opera with its built-in VPN.
Gab is still accessible (for now)
Zerohedge is back up.
The other interesting thing is that, of the VPN providers, anonymize.com is blocked. This is the VPN that is recommended by Gab host provider Epik (Rob Monster).
NordVPN is accessible in Australia - no problem. My suggestion is to avoid Nord.
The interesting thing about censoring Voat is that it has NO hosting capacity for video - nothing. And this is the premise that the Telcos have blocked it. So there is something VERY fishy about the block of Voat.
My guess - someone on Voat is REALLY, REALLY, over the target.
Love from Aus

Zero Hedge is still patchy, depending on which Telco.
As you said OP, someone is either over the target or any competition to the fake news narrative needs to be closed down. Most likely both.

Much more wealthier people cannot afford that with all their life savings. Who are sponsoring him? Follow the money and we will know who are behind him. BTW, the first famous manifesto was written by Marx, and more recent one is from Kaczynski. Who are those that love to write manifestos?'
