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."

Avoid OpenWeb if you can *OpenWeb bogs system memory * OpenWeb bogs system performance * OpenWeb makes broadband feel like dial up * On pages where OpenWeb editing is enabled, it usually requires multiple attempts to edit, or, you have to delete the comment and post it as a new one, but deleting the comment usually takes more than 1 attempt If you're considering using OpenWeb on your site, visit a busy site like Fox News and try it out on their top stories, you'll see how horrible it is. OpenWeb may be pervasive, but not sure why, there has to be better performing alternatives.

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.

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.

Open web silences conservative voices Open web silences conservative voices. You can post facts about Joe Biden. And make statements that you believe he is more of a racist than Trump, and your comments get rejected. The left can put all kinds of baseless allegations about Trump and it is published freely. I need to stay off Yahoo when they use such a deceptive moderator.
