People have just started noticing censorship - but did you know the US Government held hearings with Google/Youtube in 2013 over why they weren't censoring "flat earth" videos?

Most are delisted/Monetized or outright deleted - same goes for Google's algorithm. What DOES exist is nonesene - The Flat Earth Society are anything but - it's a honeypot to catch curious people and give them erroneous information to make the position seem even more ridiculous than it already appears.(and trust me, I know it sounds ignorant!)

So with me telling you that - I don't have all the answers, I find out new things everyday. I did stumble across the explanation a few weeks ago, but I'll have to find it.

The radio towers for instance are a strength for FE - the claim is radio signals are able to travel the distance they can because of the level earth and longer wave length. There is also the datapoint that 95% of all telecommunications are run through cable - so it's just the final transmission run from radio towers
