OP posting a video that favors Andrew Tate . . .

viewtopic.php?t=417609

Emory Andrew Tate III (born 1 December 1986) is an American-British media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. He began practicing kickboxing in 2005 and gained his first championship in 2009. He attracted wider attention in 2016 when he appeared on the British reality show Big Brother. He was removed from the show after a video emerged of Tate repeatedly striking a woman with a belt; the two later stated the act was consensual. He began operating a camgirl business and selling online courses, and rose to fame as an internet celebrity, promoting an "ultra-masculine, ultra-luxurious lifestyle". Tate's misogynistic commentary has resulted in his suspension from various social media platforms.

He made international headlines when in December 2022, Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Romania along with two women; all four are suspected of human trafficking and forming an organised crime group. Romanian police alleged that the group coerced victims into creating paid pornography. In March 2023, all four were moved to house arrest while the investigation continued, after being held in custody since their arrest. In June, they were charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. Tate and his brother deny all charges. (Source:  Wikipedia )

Promotion of such a monster has no place on this website.

Seems to be a duplicate of this thread:

Thanks - moved to "WrongPlanet.net discussion".

Thanks - newer thread merged with earlier thread.

Thanks - I know who Andrew Tate is, but he's not being promoted in the thread.

Not even the OP's video?

A (YouTube generated, hence short on punctuation) transcript of the first 30 seconds -

0:00 so what is the Matrix anyways we often
0:02 times hear people like Andrew Tate
0:04 talking about the Matrix some deep state
0:06 conspiracy theory but he doesn't go into
0:08 too much detail about what exactly is
0:10 this Matrix and what are the laws and
0:13 principles behind how to survive in this
0:15 Dark Forest so I wanted to give you my
0:17 take on this and he may disagree on this
0:19 but the thing is often times I see
0:21 people so totally brainwashed and
0:23 mentally ingrained and programmed by The
0:25 Matrix that they're really destroying
0:27 their own lives destroying the lives of
0:29 their children by giving them bad advice
0:31 the type of advice I see is people say
(etc.)

The rest of it is a lengthy exposition of what the video's creator thinks "the matrix" represents.
Not what Tate says it is, and AFAICT his name was mentioned only within those 30 seconds as someone who has also talked about the matrix.

↑ Understood. Thank you.

Thanks - they don't seem to be trying very hard, do they?
Four spammers, plus droppings, gone.

I know I'm unclear on this issue, but is Josette young enough that she shouldn't be this precisely identifying herself?

viewtopic.php?t=417796#p9411364

That doesn't seem to be precisely identifying her.
Did I miss something?

I am...as always...nervous about such things. There is a full name, a state, and an age (which is almost a minor). Anyone that knows her and wanders onto WP stands a good chance of making the connection.

And, I know, I'm nervous about such things.

Ah, I see.
But her member name isn't her real name, although I've redacted elsewhere what she says is her real name. A state or the international equivalent is used as a location fairly often and seems sufficiently imprecise.
Her age is not divulged in her profile, but is stated elsewhere as "3 minutes younger than my twin sister".

I'm glad that is not her real name.

There are very few folk in the U.S. with the same first and last name as me so, from where I sit, it doesn't take much more than the name to identify someone. And I'm an Aspie so, from where I've been sitting for my whole life, it was usually best to not to attract too much attention.
