It seems strange now, but "back in the day" I had some big name "competitors" who didn't like me exposing their "market timing expertise" was complete BS with hard data to back it up. I got kicked off a FB account for what seemed like some sort of a trap set where they claimed the data I showed was "proprietary" and FB would rather comply and kick me off than fight the bogus threats. At Yahoo! a relative of the "ethically challenged" business had a job doing software there and they had the comments there filter for the guy's name and delete any post that used it! They also had filters to change links on their site to mine so they didn't work when others tried to link to the proof. I eventually got Yahoo! to eliminate these biased, illegal filters by going to IR and explaining what was happening and how they could be liable for a HUGE amount if the hundreds of thousands being deceived and paying for the financial advice wanted to go after them with a class action. Anway, I can relate. I'm still offended by fraudsters who don't post a verifiable record of trades made at prices announced in advance (how many have you seen here announce it after the fact... and never seem to be wrong) but I'll let someone else worry about getting fooled... I make enough on my own methods that it isn't worth the effort any more to be the unpaid, unpopular SEC stand in. Perhaps we need a law that if ANY content is removed, the person removing it has to disclose that whats and whys so creeps like Zuckerberg won't say after they already illegally censored opposition and won the election that they were wrong to do it.
