 are they really watching us  do you wonder if ldquo they rdquo are really watching everything you are doing online i had that question answered a couple of weeks ago when i was online the first incident occurred was when i was surfing for articles on the internet to post on the clinton county republican party website i had located one about an online social media company name being withheld here because this could be suppressed also the story centered around the fact that the social media company had closed this individuals account they had posted unacceptable content the questionable content contained a negative statement about the online social media provider and its suppression of free speech on their site as an experiment i logged into the site in question and wrote a brief comment on censorship and attempted to post a link to the ldquo free speech rdquo suppression article to their social media site i immediately received a message back that the content i had just posted was not acceptable the second incident took place the next day i was posting an article to our website about nsa surveillance and i had created a graphic to use with the story content and named it spyjpg i uploaded the text and the graphic to our internet host provider and our website went down immediately i attempted to resolve the issue but eventually i had to contact the hosting company after they looked into the problem they told me that the word ldquo spy rdquo is a targeted term that has been flagged as suspicious so our site was taken down as a precaution i didn rsquo t ask what the other words or phrases were that i shouldn rsquo t be using i am sure they wouldn rsquo t have told me just remember what our elected leaders keep telling us it rsquo s all for our own protection that we are being surveilled trust us
