Believe? Yes, I'd believe it if it were true. Can you show us proof?
You referring to the blocking features?
We should at least be able to READ what others are saying, because many are abusing others in print & blocking the readers for fear of getting a violation notice. This is abuse of the worst kind. It is dangerous. It is not very democratic. It is socialist & communist in nature.
This IS a voluntary site. but I agree that we are indeed being censored...all of us.
Perhaps their little experiment has gone too far. YAHOO...are you reading this?
The people DO deserve the right to at least READ what others are saying. It's a part of the freedom of information act.

The guarantees of individual rights and the prohibitions against restrictions on the rights contained in the Constitution, and the Amendments, apply to the United States government not to the PRIVATE sector.
Unless there is a Statute stating otherwise, PRIVATE individuals and corporations, CAN prohibit "free speech".
For example, until the mid-1960's, there was no civil rights legislation prohibiting various forms of discrimination by PRIVATE individuals and corporations. It may have been immoral, but it was not "illegal" (prohibited) for a private business to discriminate on the basis of sex, religion, race, age, etc. Now it is "illegal" due to the Civil Rights legislation. Without legislation, and court cases interpreting those laws, there are no (Constitutional) protections of individual rights from PRIVATE (non-governmental) restrictions or prohibitions.

In my experience, the real trolls are the ones ABUSING their free speech rights by acting stupid here. Report trolls can be irritating. But since they are not government entities, they are not in violation of the Constitution. Perhaps you should consider that although you have the right to speak, you do NOT have the right to be heard OR agreed with.

I dont quite understand either.thanks for clarifying. Yes they are and there should be some way to verify their actions to see if they are legit. Too many things are being deleted that are good and by the time you get to them they are gone. But the bad stuff sticks around until everyone reads that. makes no sense.We care morgan believe me we care.

I don't take this all that seriously. If I begin to find that I am being ticked off by some folks, I'm happy to just go away for a bit. They seem to lose their supposed 'power' if just ignored. It's been rather rampant lately.
Have a great rest of your Thanksgiving.
