News and Commentary

Overview

José Luis Sevillano announces he is “saying goodbye” to social media as a creator, specifically his Facebook channels and related work (including Caos Vidante and José Luisana Rodríguez). He presents the decision as strategic and long-planned: after about six years on social platforms, he says the environment has become hostile and unsustainable.

He argues the problem is not standard moderation or “the algorithm,” but what he repeatedly calls a “shadow hand”—which he claims orchestrated threats, removals, and harassment against him.

Core Claims and Narrative

  • Unequal battle and “hidden hand”: Sevillano claims he has been targeted since early on, and that a group/owner structure behind his access decides his “destiny,” forcing him into a defensive posture for years.

  • Threats and pressure (professional/personal): He alleges:

    • Death threats beginning around October 2020. He says he reported a threat, asked for investigation (naming Patricio Carrasco), but that no meaningful action was taken.
    • He was threatened by/targeted through the College of Physicians multiple times for speaking about topics he describes as medical.

  • Silencing/betrayal after a “digital bubble” / “fifth column”: He describes being pulled into, and later expelled from, what he calls a “fifth column” environment—controlled or compromised in his view. He portrays Ricardo Delgado as the central figure managing that space, and claims Ricardo later turned against him.

  • Censorship as retaliation, not algorithmic filtering: Sevillano disputes claims that his posts are removed by algorithms. Instead, he asserts there is deliberate behind-the-scenes action—such as bot purges, removals, and orchestrated suppression of his participation.

  • Intellectual property theft and content appropriation: A major accusation is that Ricardo Delgado (and channels connected to him) took Sevillano’s ideas/work, later re-packaging them as if they were theirs. He also claims threads were deleted where he discussed his authored books and contributions being shared.

Examples He Cites

  • Conference attendance anomalies and audience stagnation: He claims conferences associated with the “fifth column” drew only long-time followers (about 100 people) despite large channel follower counts—arguing this pattern indicates manipulation or isolation.

  • Bot purge timing: He points to a bot purge around the time of his exclusion.

  • Claims related to DANA flooding coverage: Sevillano alleges deception about responsibility/causation related to the DANA storm and claims Ricardo either covered for it or avoided confronting it publicly.

  • Cancellation/obstruction of conferences and promotional plans: He says meetings/conferences were canceled (including Las Rozas and attempts in Seville). He also claims he tried to propose alternative outreach, but that others discouraged it.

  • Expulsion and deletion of his work: He states that after he publicly noticed issues and demanded explanations, Ricardo allegedly expelled him and deleted communication threads and materials he says were his.

His Stated Plan After Leaving

  • He will stop creating new public content (he says his “creative power disappears from social media”).
  • Instead, he will act as a “defender”:
    • preserving and re-sharing selected past material
    • with the aim of preventing his ideas from being erased or distorted.
  • He claims his goal is to stop “the enemy” from destroying his message, while avoiding direct conflict or situations where new content could be quickly stolen and re-used.

Broader Views on Misinformation and Context

  • Sevillano broadens his message into a general critique: he argues major social media ecosystems are filled with false information and shaped around influence-selling rather than truth.
  • He repeatedly uses his “beast/virus/bug” framework (a metaphysical interpretation), suggesting people who “copy” rather than create are part of a parasitic dynamic.
  • He also argues that older books and historical disciplines (e.g., history of medicine, art, philosophy) contain less adulterated knowledge and can help rebuild understanding.

Outcome / Positioning

Despite describing intense harassment and “betrayals,” Sevillano insists his channels and viewership are still growing. He cites large view numbers and follower counts as evidence that he remains resilient, and that the conflict dynamics have not fully succeeded against him.
