After reviewing to verify, I haven't violated any policies or terms and my account's comments are auto-rejected. This has been happening for quite some time now. I get a pop-up with the below info:

Your comment was rejected as it apparently was not aligned with our Community Guidelines

I just wrote some comments which your site automatically rejected, not even giving them as much as a review. Was it because I used the word "Rubbish" to characterize someone else's comment? Who knows? This sort of blind and dumb automatic censorship with no understanding of what you're reading -- because you're not actually reading it -- is going to get you in trouble, just like Twitter. Chances are there's no actual need to do this, not from a legal standpoint and not from a business standpoint, as you alienate a good share of your readership. You should be more transparent and highlight words or phrases, or at least give more helpful and explicit guidance than to point to your "community guidelines". Frankly, your policy is disgusting and thoroughly un-American.

I have no issue with left wing news so long as right wing news has an equal platform for opinion, it should be up to the public to weigh both sides of the conversation to see if there is a middle ground, but having an organization marginalize any opinion left or right goes against any principle of free speech altogether, Facts are but a grey area to be distorted, that's why its important for individuals to know both sides of arguments.

Even though a lot of misinformation exist in the world, the burden of truth is only met with the individual willing to accept it, the world that enjoys freedom must be willing to let all express their views whether it be popular or not, setting guidelines at Yahoo to not allow threats or racial commentary is a good start to allow a divided world to start having a conversation again about things that really matter, things are never going to be fixed if there is no open exchange of ideas.

Yahoo's explanation of why there are no comments allowed on many stories: "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".
While you (Yahoo) are "improving our (your) community experience ", you're ruining mine! And, you're denying me my freedom of speech !!! How dare you!!!!! What kind of BS is this ?? Who are you (Yahoo) to police my opinions or comments. Where is the integrity of the whole editorial department - especially the decision makers ??
"A safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions". How the heck can we connect when you don't allow it ?? More BS --------- it just goes on and on. STOP IT!

Agree. If Yahoo wants people to read its stories, it MUST allow commenting on ALL of them. I have gotten to the point where I check to see if there is a comments section on a particular story. If there isn't, I find the story on another site that DOES allow commenting.
I posted this once before, but Yahoo obviously does not read these because nothing has changed.

Dear Yahoo,
Why on earth would you offer a feature for users to incorporate into their posts if you are only going to flag it for censorship? I used three LOL emojis and this is the message you gave me:
"Your comment contains an emoji and may not be published."
WTH is running the show over there? -

Hey Yahoo!
Is it true that before Elon Musk bought out Twitter he looked @YAHOO! and said:
"Thanks, but no thanks!!!"
Is it true that @Yahoo! is now considered across multiple Social Media platforms as the "National Enquirer" of the Internet?

Stop censoring dissenting opinion. The only reason to stop commenting is to stifle dissent and push your weak "woke" narrative. The extreme liberal viewpoints you promote are founded in dishonesty and stupidity. They will not stand up to scrutiny or dissenting opinion.
