NaturalNews-- Due to Facebook's
outrageous campaign
of censorship against anyone attempting to post comments or photos about
autism, GMOs, vaccines or the Second Amendment, Natural News has made an
executive decision to ditch Facebook for its comment system.
Effective immediately, we are dropping
the Facebook comment section from all our articles and replacing it with the Disqus comment engine. Disqus is the most
widely-used commenting and social networking engine on the 'net, and it allows
users to sign it with their accounts from Google, Twitter, Facebook or Disqus.
"We can't in good conscience keep
sending traffic to Facebook when they are engaged in such widespread censorship
of free speech," said Natural News editor Mike Adams. "Facebook has
become an online form of tyranny, intimidation and oppression. It's time we
sought alternatives that respect free speech and don't censor moms who post
pictures of their children holding GMO rally signs."
The only downside to the switchover is
that all previous comments posted under the Facebook engine will disappear from
articles. Switching over to Disqus starts over with a "blank slate"
on the comments for each article.
The upside is that users who verify
their emails are able to post comments immediately, without moderation. To
prevent spam and trolls, however, comments posted by users who do not verify
their email addresses are held for moderation, then approved or rejected by
Natural News staffers
Readers can also flag other people's comments as
"abusive" or "spam," flagging them for moderation review by
Natural News. So this allows us to prevent Monsanto trolls and vaccine zealots
from polluting our articles with their lies and propaganda.
