GBOUTRAGEOUS 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.

GBThey need to rename the company "Closed Web." They need to rename the company "Closed Web." Their latest strategy on Yahoo News is to just reject any comment that triggers any keywords they don't like. Or if we don't name them Closed Web, we could call them Lazy Web, because they don't really do any actual moderation of chat comments. All they do is reject their "trigger words." Lol

GBSolved all our moderation issues with a… Solved all our moderation issues with a full-featured commenting platform for our enthusiast community website. What used to take up a monumental amount of manual hours for moderators on our payroll has pretty much solved by the OpenWeb platform. Really happy with the product and the team has been a delight to work with. Highly recommended.

GBI 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.

GBThey'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.
