Censorship in forums (Disqus)

While reading and commenting on stories at Breitbart, I ran into a disturbing occurrence of censorship with their linked, off-site discussion moderator, Disqus. Anyone have the 'shiznit' on this group/org?

The story centers around the letter sent by Cruz and Sessions demanding further data on 'immigrants' and 'refugees', including their children, who have come to the US, essentially under PC bleeding heart rational, and have been arrested for committing or planning acts of domestic terrorism. The information goe to the heart of the argument: Have they been a threat in the past? Is there suppressed evidence to the effect? How does this apply to these 'refugees' Obama is now trying to import? In light of the money wasted on lesbian alcoholic studies or how frogs mate, this deserves a little attention, yes?

I was commenting to a lefty on the fact that there have been attacks by ‘refugees’ and ‘immigrants’ and tried to post the evidence that the administration is trying to cover this up.

Exhibit A are the Tsarnev(sp?) brothers. They were admitted to this country as refugees, and were allegedly fully vetted by this allegedly intense thorough vetting process, which the liberals assure us is screening refugees adequately.

The Breitbart mods have gotten skittish of late. They deleted one of my posts where I mocked someone for using the race card. Apparently saying “race card” is beyond their sensibilities.

I posted up to 30 times on a Disqus moderated comments section on Daily Mail the UK media site. There was the hit piece they ran saying trumps supporters are racist and assaulted the BLM activist. I was correcting dopey liberals on there and I never once saw my comments even hours later but saw recent comments when I refreshed the page. I even submitted posts asking why my posts weren’t showing and to no surprise those posts never showed up either.

The Russians even warned us about the Tsarnaev brothers.

Not refugees but the underwear bomber was another we were warned about. Also a Flint Michigan woman who died in Syria, her parents warned the FBI that she had become “radicalized” and wanted them to stop her from going. The FBI didn’t and was apparently willing to let her return.

I doubt that it’s DISQUS; Brietbart has changed greatly since Andrew dies and they have been censoring posts ( mods there, NOT DISQUS )for about 2 years.

The media rats are into almost every news source.
Example, Savage is on WBAP (DFW) now for three hours.
They selectively edit his program to include minutes from day old shows to limit what is reported on the strongest AM signal radio station in the central US. ( love him or hate him doesn’t matter, the program content is being edited to limit the negative message)
What has been on recently has been great, he is openly calling for zero to be tested for mental illness!!

I’ve had problems with disqus similar to what others are posting here. DEFINITELY a Lefty McLefterson deletion bias going on there.

To own a domain is to control the traffic that traverses it.

The letter I`ve been pushing for the light of day, tries to clarify just how many there actually have been. It`s not just politically expedient data, if the present course is not changed, it`s very likely going to be a matter of life and death to many in our future, maybe someone you know and care about.

For a short while Disqus was posting invites to “make our service better” pages. I made a couple of respectful suggestions and they deleted them. Disqus is better than nothing (which is what I think of Farcebook) but not by much.

I detest Disqus for a number of reasons, and rarely try to read any comment sections hosted by them.

Just too many scripts to allow to even read (so they can profile me...)

A couple of months ago, some liberal site, HuffPo possibly, went to using FB for user comments, and it sparked a backlash.

Very rarely read them, so no idea if they listened to the negative feedback.

Well if Breitbart keeps that up they can kiss my Conservative @ss good bye. Drudge has mostly replaced them anyway.

Yeah, it's up to the website mods if they have those. I have posted on sites that don't have mod approval for Disqus and my comments go up right away.

We had a local station, KAKE News in Wichita, that had Disqus, where you saw conservatives complain all the time that their comments were not being posted.

The liberals ran roughshod in their comment sections, while conservatives were being locked out of discussions. I told the news director their liberals on their comment sections was terribly disproportionate because conservatives way out number liberals in Kansas. All I got was crickets from him and recently they took down all the comments after the Syrian refugee debate where the libtards were getting hammered on the issue. They are a terribly liberal station and deserve the name, KAKA News

I see Disqus on my TVBYTHENUMBERS.com site that I go to. Sometimes they do censure when things get vicious from a overzealous fan of a TV show that isn’t doing well in the ratings.
