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.

Hey OpenWeb, Hey OpenWeb, Please tell me how the below quoted comments violate ANY sort of 'community guidlines' on the Yahoo platform: "Refer to Arizona Revised Statutes 13-3841 through 13.3870.02 and 18 USC 3182." "You should look up Arizona law regarding extradidtion before complaing about a "koolaid drinking DA" and precedence. Just to make it easy: 18 USC 3841 and ARS 18-3841 through 12.2870.02 are the relevant Statutes." Please note that 'koolaid drinking...' is a quote from the post being replied to. "That is what is required under Arizona law. NYS made the mistake of trying to bully their way into getting the suspect in violation of the ARS."

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.

Why? My comment on yahoo was rejected by OpenWeb. The comment was "Why?" No kidding. That was all I said.

Banned by OpenWeb Unfortunately I wasn't given the option of giveing OpenWeb/AOL no stars. I've been banned from making comments on AOL by OpenWeb and I have no idea why. There was no notification. Their supposedly purpose is "to bring conversations back from social networks to publisher sites". But it's more like their purpose is to silence those they don't agree with. There's no way to contact OpenWeb and I did call AOL. But, they just said to file this issue on their feedback. I'm sure it went right into the bit bucket.
