AOL does not allow you to view or post a comment anymore! This is against a freedom of speech and a change in their policy...a shame!

Can you publish what and how comments are deleted? I guess you have change your rules? I only see fact based, rights posts deleted within a 1/2 second before my eyes. It's censorship.

Your site has been hacked again. Comments are being deleted again and in some cases being replaced with bogus "Policy violation" notices on your news feed. I really don't understand why you can't grasp that by continuing to allow your site to be hacked you are destroying any faith that AOL can protect our personal information or that any of your so called Security Products are worth ****. So, once again, fix you website and keep it from being hacked. I don't need t use AOL. I have a gmail account. And if your incapability to protect your site continues I will cancel AOL!

To present greater feedback, ALL my article posts (and links to articles) will be posted here as well as when my posts are throttled, blocked, or deleted. I will prepend all posts with:
(This comment meets AOL's ToS, and has been directly logged to AOL. Unfair moderation such as throttling, blocking, or deleting will be reported.)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, many don't understand that it's not fully implemented, and that it's supposed to throttle down illegal immigration, not stop it entirely.
-------------------------------------What's the excuse?
-----------------------------------------
Not really. Sensors are not in place, and it's not supposed to stop everyone. It's not a fair evaluation.
-------------------------------------------
Do you know that the sensors are not in place, and that the point is to significantly slow illegal immigration, not stop it?
--------------------------------------------
Nothing will prevent criminals from robbing banks but we still have walls, and security measures in place. Are they dumb too?
----------------------------------------
How about "one former border chief said" as source of information. What's his name, and how reliable is his information?
-------------------------------------
Every manmade structure can be penetrated. The question is, how many does it keep out?
--------------------------------------------------
"More than 960 people crossed into the U.S. illegally from the northern border with Canada last year, according to data released from Customs and Border Protection." - abc News
Wow, you're right.
---------------------------------------------
Do your really think you've given a fair evaluation?
-------------------------------------------
How have you concluded that he hates brown people with a border wall?
--------------------------------------------
"Impenetrable" is a terrible choice of words for ANY man-made structure. However, the wall may be extremely effective with technology in place at slowing illegal immigration. We'll find out when it's complete.
---------------------------------------
My opinions: The Washington Post is biased against Trump. The Washington Post put out a negative article against Trump's border wall with no evidence, and all the sources of information are anonymous. Therefore, we should all have at least some reservations with regard to the article.
Anyone disagree?

AOL support said this:
"Good Day,
Thank you for your reply!Given this situation, this issue would be better addressed by sending a feedback directly to the team that handles the AOL news page.
In order to do this, please go to AOL.com from one of your computer's browsers ( Chrome, Safari, Firefox,etc.), go on the very bottom of the page and click on "Feedback"(see below).
We hope the information we provided you was helpful. Please let us know if we may assist you in the future.
Best regards,
Levi
AOL Email Support Specialist"I am growing suspicious that AOL is throttling my posts, and blocking me from posting because my views don't align with AOL's. Today, I was blocked from posting on an AOL article after posting this:
"Banks have walls and alarm sensors too. Just because a "journalist" writes an article suggesting bank walls and alarms are ineffective, can we not be intellectually critical? It may be that while someone may bypass the walls and security measures, most of the people trying to break into the bank are deterred. The border wall is not fully implemented, and has none of the technology. Instead of listening to AOL, look at the analytical data after the wall is built before you decide."
I am fine if you block or throttle opposing views, just tell me and I'll go elsewhere, otherwise, I need help figuring out why I'm being targeted by moderators.
Also, if there is a person at AOL that I can run my posts by first before posting, I'd like to know how I can get into contact with them. I understand there is a forum Code of Conduct/Guidelines which I follow, however moderators seem to have another agenda.
UPDATE:
Posting was blocked for me at ~12AM Nov 3, 2019. I am still blocked.
Posting is now reinstated.

Why are my comments instantly blocked? My posts have been within the guidelies of AOL, but probably not in line with your ANTIFA blockers. So much for free speech.
