Sadkangaroo,
It's a site on the Internet, sometimes things happen.
If you want to pretend it's all a conspiracy may I suggest you post that in the Fringe lol.
That said, I have been contacted many years ago by someone claiming to be from the Executive Council Australian Jewry because I'd had some "conflicts" with It_Is_The_Light.
He, as well as all of OzPol, are on their radar for the Antisemitism that's posted there. They were, I don't know if they still do, keeping records of everything. They had contacted me because they wanted my help to do the same.
For Light, many of his conspiracies about Hitler being a secret Jew or the Jews controlling everything has him being monitored.
But I'm not interested, that's their battle, but it made me reach out and see what other groups might be watching.
All I will say is, when you post on OzPol, you are being watched.
I'm not in the business of doxing people, in fact, I think the practice is dangerous. But, there are some on OzPol, some who I know are certainly on these lists, that it's trivially easy to discover their identity, phone and address. If I can do it, so can they. I'm not going to go into who or how but just keep in mind that you're not as anonymous as you might think there, or even here.
I don't think FD or those who run here would do anything, but should he actually be shut down or real investigations launched due to these groups keeping records of the bigotry, racism and white supremacy that goes on as the norm at OzPol because of their complaints to law enforcement, as a butt saving exercise or as ordered by the courts, IPs and other information could be handed over.
I've worked for ISPs in the past,we've had to keep EVERYTHING, even before the mandatory data retention laws, and now it's even worse. VPNs can help, but I doubt most use them, and they're not fool proof.
Just some food for thought.
There may be some truth to all this:

Posting About Politicians? The NSW Police Force May Have You In Their Sights
10/01/2020 by Paul Gregoire
A Blue Mountains man was arrested in August last year, over allegations that he’d been harassing the local mayor and a NSW Labor MLC. The 37-year-old was charged with a number of offences, including stalking or intimidation with intent to cause fear of physical or mental harm and using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.
The charges related to claims the man had been making false allegations about sexual assault and child abuse. And this decade-long intimidation campaign was carried out via email, social media, text and phone messages.
And he said it would target “lone actors”, who are obsessed with public figures, as well as ideologies or beliefs.
Of course, as yet, no one has turned up to parliament with a bill that puts thoughtcrimes on the law books. However, proactively locating individuals before they perpetrate any criminal acts certainly sounds a lot like Orwell’s dystopian vision.
