I am considering using another site for the same reasons. I was blocked from commenting for no apparent reason and without any explanation. There is no way to contact MSN regarding it either other than "Community Support".
How did I get blocked from commenting on MSN and how do I get unblocked?
* Locked.

2021-12-11T13:58:39+00:00 I saw this yesterday, but it's difficult to tell which Publisher or Editor of content I disagreed with. I think this came from Microsoft because I am blocked on commenting on any story on the MSN.com site.

See point #5. Perhaps if you report the problem via the Feedback link, someone will contact you.
I can't explain the moderation of comments to MSN articles, but here are some observations.
- You may find useful information at https://www.msn.com/en-us/community/guideline
- There were so many unacceptable comments that commenting was shut down for a few months not too long ago.
- Now that commenting is allowed again, moderation is very restrictive.
- Moderation is almost certainly being done via AI, via a bot, not humans.
- I've searched but have not found a way to contact MSN staff regarding this moderation except the Feedback link that's at the bottom of nearly every MSN webpage.

See if this thread helps in that case: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/newmsn/forum/all/blocked-from-comments-on-msn-for-over-a-year/a6b1574b-582a-4b56-88ad-c8a5e3d0d478
