Witness Footage Pressure
Beyond platforms and gag orders, individual witnesses report pressure on their recordings.
Missing or altered phone video (claims)
Media Censorship summarizes attendee accounts that phone clips recorded at UVU were missing or appeared edited by the time they got home — anecdotal, not verified here.
Skylar Baird (claim)
Commentary in the master file alleges witness Skylar Baird was asked to delete phone footage. Unverified — listed because influencers cite it as part of a pattern.
Ryne Simmons — FBI deletion
The best-documented case: Ryne Simmons — FBI Video (4K close-up, federal delete request).
FBI "protect the investigation" vs selective release
Commentary contrasts:
- FBI allegedly warned against footage release to "protect the investigation"
- Later selective 4K clips dropped (e.g. birthday tribute framing) while red-zone cams, roof angles, security logs remain withheld
That selectivity argument is commentary — not proof insiders were protected.
SD card / CCTV threads
- Terryl Farnsworth allegedly removed SD cards before police secured area — evidence-handling thread crossing Tent and cameras
- Executive who removed SD card had reportedly never attended another university event — per CK_FILE research note
N1098L / signal jam theory (contested)
Some posts theorize N1098L or ISR aircraft could jam livestreams or alter phone uploads — highly contested. See Planes/N1098L. Documented as speculation, not fact.
