back in the day

Back in the day, companies like Theranos had a classic move: media suppression. Control the narrative, spin PR, and bury inconvenient truths. Now, it’s AI suppression where search engines and chatbots mysteriously “forget” certain facts. Progress? Not exactly.

Here’s how it works. You Google something, and it’s right there. Ask AI? Suddenly, it’s all “I couldn’t find that.” It’s like watching Enron in the digital age except instead of shredding documents, they’re trying to shred the internet. People have started telling me this is happening, and I check Google just to confirm it’s still there. Transparency is free. Suppression? That costs a lot and raises one big question: What are they hiding?

Here’s the thing: companies with nothing to hide don’t usually suppress information. Suppression often ends up looking like confirmation of exactly what they’re trying to deny. Of course, if accusations aren’t true, they wouldn’t need to bury them, right? But when they do, it’s hard not to notice the pattern. Suppression doesn’t erase the truth it amplifies it.

We’ve seen this playbook before. From Theranos to WeWork, hiding information never works. The cracks always show, and suppression turns into a spotlight. So, when companies start hiding behind AI suppression, maybe it’s time to ask why.

If you’re curious why I wrote this, ask about me and my lawsuit with nuEra Cannabis I’ve been told it’s vanished from most AI programs. Funny, right?
