Fearmonger Techniques: Censorship of Comments Case Study Paul Mobley @junkscience8552

Junk Science Fearmongers use censorship to hide comments that provide facts contrary to what they would want you to believe. READ MORE!

A good example of this is the channel belonging to "Paul Mobley". In the past, Mobley would comment on other users videos. Unfortunately, he has a limited education and knowledge of a topic he frequently commented on: Radiation. This led to commenters frequently correcting the misinformation he provided.

This happened frequently enough that he started making his own videos where he could carefully control the comments posting, eliminating those that provided facts contrary to what he wanted any viewers to believe.

One such video is this one: youtu.be/X3bJc7dDaHM

If you scroll through the comments in this video, you can clearly see that he is answering comments that are not visible. Further, the number of comments is often different that the ones that are visible. In a prominent case in this video, you can easy count that only 17 of the listed 24 comments are visible.

"Paul Mobley" currently limits this comments to his own videos or those that he can control. You can see evidence of that in this video, where again he responds to comments that are not visible: youtube.com/watch?v=td6NbHnT50M&t=2s . "Michelle Matthews* wake-up *" is certainly a cohort of his that also deletes, most likely on his instruction, comments he doesn't like.

In the comments below this video, you can see one such exchange from the Mobley video discussed above that Mobley has censored.

Deleted comments are so marked.

If you have any questions about the technical content and accuracy of any of "Paul Mobley's" videos, please feel free to comment on this one (with a link to the questionable video) and I will do my best to address it.
