Yahoo has closed comments on the article. Freedom of speech? ya ok

btw almost every comment was AGAINST the mosque…

who are we protecting in this country?
Protecting those who respect freedom of speech. There’s no question that there was freedom of speech given that so many anti-Muslims had the opportunity to say what they wanted.

Yahoo closed the comments only after 1,100 comments had been made. Even here at CAF threads are closed at the 1000 comment mark.
 
I hate reading the comments in general on yahoo news. It scares me that real people think some of things they say. I’ve stopped reading any articles on yahoo that have anything at all to do with Catholics in any way because the comments are just horrible and ignorant -all about pedophile priests and nasty remarks about the pope . Truly I hope the commentators are not a true reflection of our current society in general. I’ve seen some of the most racist, sexist, bigoted comments. And spelling seems to be a big issue too. :rolleyes:
 
The First Amendment prevents government from limiting free speech (except under very specific circumstances).

A private company has every right to limit comments on its internet site. That has nothing to do with the First Amendment.
 
In that case, make sure you NEVER look at the comments on youtube. :o
now that u red this u must post it in 10 other threads or the gru will cum and eat u at night, if u post it tho u wil meet ur tru luv tomorrow and be rich!

what’s even funnier is when they post something like that but they prefix it with something like:

"WARNING please don’t read the stuff I wrote down below! I’m sorry but I already looked at it so I have to keep posting it now 😦 "

Snowpea, the US Constitution’s protection of freedom of speech does not require businesses to spend unlimited resources to provide users a platform to express their views. It doesn’t even require that businesses offer any platform to express their views.

Freedom of speech has to do with preventing government interference in the speech of its citizens. I realize you are unhappy that additional comments are not possible on that news article, but this has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

I realize yahoo is a private company - silencing comments is still scary IMHO no matter where it comes from

I think 1,162 comments about one news article is more than sufficient. Who is going to read through that many?

Why? If someone came onto this site and started posting extremely racist, anti catholic, or profane comments it would be censored. Companies have the right to dictate what goes on their just like you or I have the right to dictate what goes on in our homes.
