MSN, Community guidelines and standards being inappropriately applied.

I have been experiencing issues with posting comments on MSN for the past few months. My comments are often flagged as not complying with the community guidelines, despite my efforts to carefully craft them to avoid offending or accusing anyone. My intention is to provide supplemental information and alternative perspectives on topics and reports. I have also noticed that many news stories on MSN contain inaccurate and false information, and comments are often disabled for these stories. This creates a biased environment on the MSN website, as it does not allow for alternative information to be presented. I believe my comments do not violate the community standards and I would like to be able to resume posting comments like the one below, as sometimes presenting facts and refuting poor ideas is necessary.

“To explore the topic, I recommend looking into the double slit experiment and Schrodinger’s cat. Rather than simply providing answers, it is important to seek understanding by researching and contemplating the materials. Asking for answers is not affective, especially with complex topics like this, as human beings tend to have biases that hinder their ability to seek the reality of the situation due to cognitive dissidence. All I've given you some clues on what to research and I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of understanding.”

    I have the same problem with MSN comment posting! I am a senior citizen with little computer knowledge. I wanted to know where else can I go to be able to read news articles and leave comments on them?

    Any help will be appreciated!

    MSN Community moderation is performed primarily by artificial intelligence. At present, it makes mistakes. The longer the technology is trained, the more discerning and accurate it will become.

    If this is distressing to you, then you might want to avoid participating in MSN Community until the AI improves. On the other hand, the technology improves when it has more to read - that's the only way it can learn - so your continued participation (and patience) will contribute to better moderation in future.

    Hello, saw this post - can I ask an important question, how do I and is it possible for me to opt out of the MSN guidelines which in of themselves are believe are partly, wrong, offensive and abhorrent. Thanks welcome your thoughts, Simon. Note - they are in part anti-God. I believe I am not alone in holding this belief.

    You are not the only one who has had this happen. The Filtering system is clearly agenda based and any slightest deviation from it gets flagged as "does not follow community standards" or is bullying and harassment. I can not even use a smiley emote as a singular reply. This is so silly and is a clear violation of free speech and silences people with a different opinion other than the agenda at hand. We can clearly see msn is no better than fox news when it comes to silencing or filtering people who are free thinkers and don't follow the echo box mentality. MSN, I know you are a private entity, but that doesn't mean you should silence people. It's not a good look.
