I believe your comments page is a faulty and unhelpful one. you have a system which is a one way judgement which denys Free Speech
I think it is time you ceased from your AI Bot method of dealing with people's comments. You are totally against people expressing the truth; even when they do so in an intelligent and non-aggressive and non-abusive manner. You give no feed-back as to why somemone's viewpoint has been rejected, questioned (red-boxed); or any genuine attempt to provide answers. Yours is a one way Stalinist process and is judgemental from a limited and U.S liberal viewpoint. Things you deem "offensive or "aggessive" or "impolite" are not so in my country; and I write from the United Kingdom, whose language and idioms you and your computer programmers appear not to understand.Your computer blocks, rejects or queries perfectly normal speech ; and it is 'OUR LANGUAGE" not yours. Americans rejected British Rule and British control in 1776, yet your organisation runs a 'comments' section in which you suppress "FREE SPEECH" in the manner of the worst of dictatorships, like Communist China, The Soviet Union, Federalist Russia and Iran. How do you square this circle ? Or don't you care ? Silicon Valley is full of organisations like yours controlling and diverting people's thoughts to your own limited viewpoints and suppressing perfectly reasonable and rationale opinions; because you can. I see no reason why any public forum has need, outside of legal controls, to use foreign (and you are foreign to my country) suppression of Free Speech, while pretending to believe in the ideas of "The Land Of The Free And The Home Of the Brave" we in the West were evidently gulled into believing. How are you different in this from the Iranian Mullahs, Soviet Commissars, Chinese Party Officials or North Koreans when you use the same suppression of what can or cannot be expressed ? I think my "improvement" you have requested is that you review and improve your repressive and autocratic manner of running your comments pages which are against the basic Freedoms Thomas Paine and your own 1775 Revolutionaries attacked my country for, using what was, and remains in the history of our countries, "Seditious Treason against the British Crown". Are you still fighting that war, which allegedly ceased in 1783 ? And why does your judgement base itself on obscure U.S, Liberalist ideas when ours is the originator of your language, which you have corrupted, while suppressing our version of its usage ? My idea is that you re-consider how you run the Comments section to make it inclusive of the country you are running it in. Otherwise, what we see is something psychologically far worse than the regime run for British/American colonials back in the 18th century and is not a mark of pride in western Freedom Of Speech. People need to exchange views without a foreign headmaster overseeing how they use their own language; especially where it is being overseen by robots and people to whom it is clearly not their First Language.

True, just look at the last 24hrs, Jimmy kimmel has been axed from American screens for showing a clip about trump talking about his ballroom when he was specifically asked a question about Charlie kirk, and that gets him fired? I had already seen the exact same clip on various news channels and YouTube videos before kimmel even aired on Monday night, but the head of the FCC claimed it was the most despicable thing he had ever seen! What a hypocrite, I watched him speak about how his role was to protect free speech before trump came back in office. Providing what a spineless man he is.
The guys who projected. The image of trump & epstein onto Windsor castle were arrested on some "trumped" up charge of malicious content. A picture of two clothed men which I have seen a thousand times this year, if they are guilty of anything it is not getting permission from the local council. I don't recall anyone being arrested for projecting a naked image of a woman onto Westminster to publicise a lads magazine for the uneducated english male in the 90s?
I haven't been able to comment on any topic on here for a month due to censorship, I can see the link to the comment section on stories but click on it? I get a blank screen. The American right is now claiming that the mere action of repeating, quoting or replaying any of kirks words is a criminal act & hate speech, against a dead man! You can't be showing kirks years of words & racist, homophobic comments for the world who has no idea who he was, to show who he was as America lowered flags in his memory, this was a man who called for Joe Biden to be assassinated while he was in office. Karma is a wonderful thing.
Personally I believe that he was shot for demanding that the epstein files be released. In the eyes of the shooter kirk had betrayed trump & had to die, will this ever be voiced publicly in America? Even as a theory? You can bet your life it won't.
I have a brother who lives in Florida with his trans husband & I worry about them every day. I won't even go into trump's fake attempt which saw him shot in the ear. A wound that miraculously healed up without leaving a single trace of his supposed injury. In fact I wouldn't put it past the likes of vance & Miller to have had a hand in the kirk shooting, you know that trump won't live out his term & the plan is for vance & Miller to create their own dynasty of uneducated Americans. Watch the film Idiocracy which was made 20 years ago. It portrays the kind of America that the right dreams about.
As for this farce of a place? Best wishes from Scotland, now get tae ******** racist, homophobic Americans & english, anybody wanting to take on this 63yrs old gay Scotsman? Come ahead! Yer teas oot! -

I didn't read your comments as I noticed that you mentioned 1775 & I immediately assumed you were American, I see that you are not, but I was just going to throw my superior Scottish education into the ring with regards to the recent changes to the comments section of the news pages. It has now disappeared entirely from my screen this week? First time I have heard of this happening in the 33yrs that I have been using AOL, 1992, I still use my email address from back then as my email address for everything official .
The censoring on this place has got so bad that it is driving people away from the format & back to the world of the conspiracy theorists & the real fake news creators, judging by the current trend of closing all comments after they failed to completely block the world opinion about the orange fat man.
We will need to wait & see who wins the civil war that's just about to start in America any day now after XI didn't invite him to the party with putin, Kim Jong & mhodi, where they were overheard talking about living till they were 150.
