Yahoo Preventing Comments is Intentional and Unconstitutional
Yahoo has been intentionally blocking comments on articles, and IMHO I believe it is to suppress the opinions of the people in the lead-up to the national elections. That makes this suppression of free speech illegal as a violation of our First Amendment rights to expression. Verizon Media, who now owns Yahoo, is behind this suppression. I have been one of the very first members of Yahoo since they were founded in 1995, and this action is unworthy of what Yahoo was originally founded to do. You are obviously manipulating social media in order to try to ensure an election result YOU want. That is ethically and morally bankrupt. Allow the American people to speak without your manipulations. Your political PAC giving for 2020 shows clearly the company gives to both parties to hedge your corporate bet, but this action - cutting off the voice of the people via your media arm - shows where your real sentiments lie. That's my opinion.

Michelle - someone's vehicle is private property, and Yahoo is a social media site - a public forum - two different things. The fact I need to point that out to you says everything. No court in the land would follow your faulty logic - if it can even be called "logic."

Gerry, you are not letting me put Biden/Harris 2020 bumper stickers on your pickup truck. That is suppression of my free speech and is illegal as a violation of my First Amendment right to expression.
Right?
