They are all blocking comments on any subject that is controversial . Its the norm these days sadly. Its as if public forums and the media only want debate between people who share a certain view on issues like immigration . clearly the policy is....... if you dont hold a leftie ,socialist , PC view, your opinion will not be allowed.

So, are Leftie, Socialist, PC views not controversial then? I know plenty of Lefties who are anti-immigration. You need to widen your social circle. Maybe talk to those outside of your immediate village family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 No, they are all at it - the Mail, Express, Sheff Star , Telegraph... FREE SPEECH is truly dead so where does that leave us sheep??? Website comments are not free speech. Its the same argument that gets raised time and time again when threads on this very forum or pulled or edited. They are allowing you to comment on their privately owned, privately controlled and privately operated websites. THEY have a perfect right to choose to edit, remove or block any comments they see fit on thier own interllectual property. If you want your own control over your own free speech use your own medium or shout it in the street. ---------- Post added 19-06-2016 at 23:49 ---------- They are all blocking comments on any subject that is controversial .

Probably for the simple reason that in this wonderful litigious world of faux outrage and campaigning - when the dirt hits the fan over something that's said, who is everyone going to blame? The annoymous and cowardly poster of the "comment" or are they simply going to sue the website that published/broadcast it? Why the hell should the media organisation be prepared to take the risk.
