Disqus has some kind of relationship with heavy-usage moderators.
TheLocal.de which is a English site on Germany....utilizes Disqus and it’s heavily moderated....to the point where almost none of the previous readers of the site will utilize it.
I’ve seen a couple of other sites over the past year who were all Disqus users and moderated beyond any logical sense. So I suspect that Disqus has some type of relationship with censorship supporters.
