forums are affected only if your isp blocks them. and publicity means print,tv and media not the net at least they way i see it

I live in Canada and forums have to be shut down apparently (new law prohibiting any form of publicity around tobacco products).

I don't know if the same would apply here some day.

Political corectness sucks.
with the way things are going in the world, nothing would surprise me....facisim is in political vouge again like it was in the 1930s....when you have college students actually encouraging and applauding censorship (safe spaces) nothing is unthinkable.Once again under the guise of A New Great Dawn for humanity the future is a jackboot stomping on a human face.as Orwell wrote.

Looked online briefly and couldn't find anything.

I did see this though:
http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/...ung-people-canadian-cancer-society-fears.html

That is a textbook case on how to turn the public against a product or idea. Bring up children. Oh, but you all know this already. Vaping.
You would think Western cultures would be intelligent enough to realize that the media is nothing more than a tool created by the elite,controled by the elite to sell people shit that is bad for them including selling ideas.

15-year (former) media guy here. There's a bit more to it than elitist ownership. You have herds of employees wanting to create "compelling" content. What you end up with is a very limited set of ideas... all contrived, skewed and devoid of perspective.

Vince's thread title here is a perfect example of what the media would do with a story on Canadian vaping. A question like that draws people in (nice work Vince). But in real life, the answer to a question in the lead is usually "no."

Even the media itself will say liberal/conservative bias is a core problem with the media. It's not. Liberal and conservative slants are just marketing gimmicks. What they both churn out is the same garbage that makes you think the world is an awful place. Their messages are just different.

I've written dozens of custom pages on the media for new employees. Mostly it's so they know what the rules are before they start breaking them. Topics include the numbers the media uses/doesn't use, the focus on worthless crap like celeb gossip, the reason no one adds "the other side" to stories, listicles, social media, etc.

Bleh.

I suppressed some details, because I don't want to make publicity for questionable ideas of new laws.

Oh, I misread! I thought he was having problems accessing another forum/site, not his own.
But yeah either get a server out of country or run it through VPN.

I was told by another Canadian that it is all about advertising and selling tobacco products - not just about ecig forums.:confused:
