Discussion forum censorship on The Daily Mail?

507 comments  Add a comment

I'm getting a little fed up with the Daily Mail website.  This is something that happens to me quite a lot and I believe it also happens on other discussion forums out there.  When I see an article that is of interest to me I'll often want to add a comment, but on some of the stories they are censored even though what I'm saying is a valid point.  Why does this happen?

One story appeared recently saying that there is research out saying chest x-rays are not always successful in diagnosing early stage lung cancer and that some patients may need to go back for further x-rays.

Did my comment on the forum get published?

Someone commented that this is yet more evidence that the NHS was a complete failure.  As an x-ray student I thought I'd reply and put the message straight.

I said that this is a piece of research which is pointing out that our current methods of diagnosing lung cancer are not always successful and should be taken on board so we can improve best practice.  Did my comment on the forum get published?  No, of course it didn't!

Normal Xray of chest. Heart in the centre. Personally, I feel that there is far too much censorship today and that otherwise valid, sensible and relevant points of view are being ignored.

I read a while back on The Daily Mail says that 'education standards are falling.'  Well, if they are going to encourage incorrect viewpoints on their website and not publish anything from anyone who looks like they know what they're talking about, I'm not surprised that people are lacking in the grey cells department!

I attempted to put my savings in a forex broker's transaction during the Pandemic. Since then, I've been attempting to withdraw my savings and have been requested to pay fees and taxes each time. On June 30 of last month, I learned that it was all a hoax, and I have already lost $148,000. recoveryhacker101 was recommended to me by a friend who is quite knowledgeable about the internet. I sent them an email, and they requested that we communicate over WhatsApp. I followed their instructions. After 32 hours of contacting recoveryhacker101@gmailcom, I received a notification on my phone that my funds had been returned in full and without any stories. I am writing this because a large number of people have reported being scammed online while attempting to retrieve their money. Please send an email to recoveryhacker101@gmailcom or identify yourself as Eli Foster.

DM are still editing deleting comments that do not fit in with their woke snowflake approach- just like the BBC - called censorship. No freedom of speech.

Tried to post a few comments today on the DM comment section and they never appeared. Looks like I have been banned (again). They use Chatgp to write their headlines of their articles. Someone commented that the DM will be going behind a paywall soon. I do hope so because that will be the end of the DM, and no one should have to pay for the crap they keep churning out, its not worth it.

The Dailymail will allow comments that are racist towards Jews and blacks, as well as comments that attack Christians but say one little thing about whites and atheists and you're banned.

Why wasn't my comment posted on daily mail? It was not offensive in any way just a truthful acct of Campbell of the 49ers walking off of the field

Yes totally censored all the time on that site even though they invite you to comment on articles. Even if you are within the guidelines they censor. Their latest tactic sees you type a comment and then not only does it not get published you are then slowed down on scrolling, unable to read or reply to other people's comments. I love how journalists are always baying for freedom of the press whilst acting like some wing of a c o mm ie country censorship committee.

I gave up on the mail a long time ago. I don't know if it's to do with me not being subscribed or they just don't like what I say, nut none of my comments are published anymore.
You can tell their new editor is a woke twat, I clicked on a story's comments once and they an editors pick comment. It had about 250 up votes and 1400 down votes. This comment the editor liked must have been top of the worst rated comments.
At least I can comment on here and GB News.

Now that the DM have introduced a new comments section from a third party called Openweb. This is an AI generated moderation and censorship like nothing ever seen before on the DM. Openweb is anything but open, and it is going to drive a lot of people away from the DM. It can detect if a user has multiple accounts and can also cross reference the same user with a different provider using their same platform. They also collect information on users and share it with Facebook who keeps a list of people they have banned. When I saw Openweb, I got my DM pofile removed from the site, as I won't be sharing my data with Openweb.

Ditto, it happens to me all the time too and I wouldn't mind but I see worse comments than I make and I don't put anything vile or abusive in there but if my comments are even remotely seemingly anti-woke or even if they are just opinions and not insults or anything like that then they are not posted. If an article has Meghan Markle in it or something wokey then not a hope any of my perfectly valid and politely put comments don't get posted. It's ridiculous. If a rag like the Daily Mail is censoring comments what hope do we have?
