the same group of people thumping their chests over so called "free speech" is the same group of people who ruin it for everyone else -- right wing extremist nut jobs pushing their misinformation, conspiracy theories, hateful rhetoric -- these people are using Yahoo's comments section as a free forum to spread their garbage, & it ruins the experience for the rest of us. I would rather comments just be turned off altogether and let the "free speech" crowd go troll somewhere else.

Kill comments. It's drive-by twitter, populated by reactionaries and idiots that feel entitled to be able to shout their ill-informed takes at the world and whine about literally everything that doesn't align with their beliefs.
It's not a town square, it's a bunch of people in a city council meeting shouting conspiracy theories after somebody stole the gavel. It serves no purpose. No substantive arguments occur: it's a never ending flame war of semi-anonymous users.

Yes this is the most talked about topic here. Please restore the comments, it is our town square. Just block those that threaten physical harm towards others and those that start name calling on either side.

The 1st Amendment to the US Constitution applies to the government denying free speech. Not to a business like Yahoo. Yahoo is not Florida governor desantis.

This is #26....... The 26th ranked comment has to do with comments. clearly rather than consolidate them yahoo has no interest in allowing their customers to speak, have a voice or opinion. They demand you buy their product and buy their services but then go the f*ck off. Go upvote #26.

Freedom of speech does not apply to private platforms. You're more than welcome to go on the street and bark your nonsense and see who agrees with you there.

Learn what "freedom of speech" is! This is a private business, not a government entity. If Yahoo! wants to moderate, they can, just like the newspapers do in the old "Letters to the Editor". If you want to add instant, uneducated commentary on an article, or politicize it, or comment on a headline without reading an article, take it to your FB page or something. I just want to read articles without hearing what the drunk guy at the end of the bar thinks.

When you sign a "terms of use" free speech has some (beneficial) restrictions. Lies are not and shouldn't be protected and we have a lot of folks that are challenged by truth.

Their real goal is to silence those who disagree with them and don't care about what you really have to say!

A year of not comment based on your "Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting." It appears that you do not want any other perspective on your articles. One news story comments - A holdover from the Trump administration - Where are the articles about all the Obama holdovers that didn't support Trump???? Very evident that you are NOT news but propaganda!!

I am all for comments as long as they aren't profane or attacking people. Let's have some decorum then comments should hopefully return.

Its time we just leave. why should we continue to use and support a structure (yahoo, etc.) that is intent on demolishing America. If no one listened..... they wouldn't even be a problem anymore. Quite honestly, I'm just not interested in buying the propaganda that they are selling me. Besides, the comment section in my opinion fuels the fire, but doesn't really change anyone's mind or the outcome. if you want change, just delete your yahoo account. protonmail.com for a substitute email and The Daily Wire for news (along with others). Goodbye Yahoo, Facebook etc. I wouldn't be surprised if THIS somehow was censored. It would be an honor.
