They don't stop hate speech Openweb are astonishingly bad at their stated mission of curtailing hate speech and harassment. Reporting has no impact regardless of how vile or callous someone behaves. Worse than that, they deliberately make it hard or impossible to send them feedback so they don't have to acknowledge what a bad job they're doing. Comments sections moderated by Openweb are some of the worst I've ever seen on the internet.

OUTRAGEOUS AND ILL-JUDGED CENSORSHIP AOL News contained a piece about elderly people being alone and lonely at Christmas, and suggesting ways to help them. A response was posted that included an incomplete telephone number for Re-engage, who help such people. I posted the correct telephone number and my post was rejected. OpenWeb's bots would obviously prefer that elderly people remain lonely - obviously programmed by a very mean-spirited geek.

Great way to connect with others! I've had really positive experiences using Openweb on tons of different sites. I keep coming back to places where this platform is embedded! Super easy to use.

They're an Israeli company who silences… They're an Israeli company who silences support for Palestine. I have a screenshot where I mentioned Israel was indirectly the cause of 9/11 which was rejected. But a comment if they're the cause of 911 was approved.

I am not pro-Trump I am not pro-Trump, but I am Pro-marijuana legalization. Trump did two things as president that I approve of. He signed the 2018 farm bill, which federally legalized hemp, a variety of cannabis. He also signed the First Step Act, a significant piece of criminal justice reform. Every time I have raised these points on Yahoo! Comments, that Trump signed these two pieces of legislation and, by doing so, has done more for cannabis legalization and criminal justice reform than any modern president, the comment is censored and blocked by OpenWeb. Truthfully, I despise Trump and disagree with most of his policies, but I credit him with these two accomplishments. I did not vote for Trump in either of the elections he ran in and do not plan to this time, but I have had some positive things to say about him regarding these two matters, and almost every time I have said something positive about Trump, it has been blocked by OpenWeb. If I say something positive about Trump in Yahoo! comments, I can be 90% sure the comment will be blocked. I call that censorship.
