Has anyone else noticed the scarcity of comments on Breitbart today? They are REALLY picky about comments as of today, I see.
Breitbart ^ | 1/12/21 | Me, Myself, & I

You can barely post anything on Breitbart today without getting the dread "Hold on a second..." message. And I see vastly reduced numbers of comments today on their articles. Looks like Breitbart is going over to the Dark Side.

There was an FR thread yesterday about waves of trolls posting racist messages and other things on Breitbart’s comments pages to try to get them deplatformed.

Breitbart has changed its tone in the last couple of months.

If users want to keep their platforms they must comply. Just the use of the words “proud boys” gets a youtube ban.

I’m 67 year sold and neve thought I would see this total ban of free speech. God help us.

The left knows what they’re doing, and they’re very good at it.

Until they can remove themselves from the grip of Big Tech, this is necessary.

They held my innocuous comment for a few minutes before posting. A new algorithm or a “new corporate investor” i’m sure.

For those that want to be shocked about where we are in this battle sneak a peak at The Drudge Report for one last time. Then hug the wife and start buying ammo.

Are you having trouble posting comments on Breitbart?

Posted on 1/11/2021, 9:22:30 PM by MAGA2017

Is there something going on now with Breitbart? Maybe its just me. Whenever I try to post a comment on a Breitbart article I get a message saying, “Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by Breitbart News Network.”.

I’m not posting anything that’s remotely inflammatory or obscene.

Anyone else here encountering the same issue?


>>Likely hoping to avoid shutdown.
>>
>>I’ve seen the site attacked not for its articles but the comments section. Who the heck is posting there? Could be anyone.
>>
>>So let’s say you want the Feds or a browser company or advertiser to shut down and destroy a website, go in and post comments encouraging violence. Then, as we saw with Parler, the site can be taken down or later be subjected to criminal prosecution for encouraging violence.

I hate to say this but Breitbart should suspend comments at least until the inauguration.

Breitbart has no clue of what is happening.

Same thing happened on TheGatewayPundit.com and 100percentfedup.com ... like breitbart.com those two sites also use the Disqus commenting system.
