Are Government Spooks Coordinating Political Censorship with Social Media Giants like Facebook and Twitter?

Many people will have heard of the large social networks' recent purges of content related to news sites that are not in line with government-sanctioned narratives of the establishment.

While a lot of shouting and criticism has been gathering, I seldom find articles that link to actual people involved spilling the beans, making the case all the more solid. If you are new to Steemit and want some extra reassurance as to why you ditched Facebook and Twitter, this insightful bit of journalism by @paranoidfactoid will be of great support to you and any independent news outlet seeking better platforms to publish their work for educating the public about facts seldom mentioned within the vastly controlled mainstream media and within the major social networks...

LEVEL UP my DRONE game: "Why?" and "How?"

Drones are such dreaded, modern wartime horrors. But then, the most beautiful images and videos can also be shot using the same technology - anyone who has ever seen a good drone footage video can attest to it.

As our craft improves as artists we naturally long for better tools to keep up with our skills. In his recent article @tibfox shares with us the details of his new winged baby, what it can be used for and where beginners in the field of drone flying need to watch out for in terms of specs.

Includes all sorts of interesting trivia about these video-drones we are seeing more and more these days. If you are interested in these gadgets or want to learn about this marvellous aspect of contemporary filmmaking - look no further.

I Love Acapulco: the Opportunities

As we are moving into incredible times on Earth I always look out for enticing destinations to explore and to eventually check out for the possibility of building a homebase in the future. And while Anarchapulco's visitors have often praised Acapulco, Mexico in many ways I have seldomly heard such a great case for visiting a place on Earth as @mikeonfire has delivered here. Especially if one is building a life as a digital nomad or entrepreneur.

And here I thought Mexico was "merely" great for its food, friendliness and weather ;)

Conclusion

I always know that it will be interesting selections that challenge my normal perspective when I see a submission from @paradigmprospect. Amazing commentary and selections, like always. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @paradigmprospect earns 5 SBD.

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak, along with beneficiary rewards from this post. Our featured writers sometimes earn more from their beneficiary rewards on this post than from their post itself! In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBI for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBI for each accepted submission!

With Steem Basic Income now upvoting comments for members that have not posted within the last 7 days, and SBI having proven to be a great value proposition, we are shifting to begin rewarding authors with SBI instead of SBD. This will help The Daily Sneak continue in its mission to discover and reward quality content creators and curators.
