Why am I being blocked from commenting?
I am being blocked from commenting. I can't understand why. My comments are not derogatory in any way.
I know several people who have been blocked by the corporate propaganda machine Disqus. I had Disqus on Bigger Fatter Politics and when I found out that the squelch speech and ban people from posting on any site that has a Disqus comment section I removed Disqus and it too an Exocet missile to do it because the fucking thing kept coming back.
Other people are being blocked and not just Joe Mosley. When will Anonymous shutdown Disqus? Click HERE to contact Anonymous

Information and Tracks You:
Privacy issues have been noted as inherent in the use of services like Disqus, which serve their content through third-party JavaScript widgets.[10][11][12]
As with other embedded web widgets, such as like buttons, the Disqus widget acts as a web bug which tracks a user's activities, even when they are not logged in, across different sites that use the Disqus commenting system. Information tracked by Disqus, which may be disclosed to third parties, includes pseudonymous analytics data, such as a user's IP address, their web browser version and installed add-ons, and their referring pages and exit links.[13] Although these data are referred to by Disqus as "Non-Personally Identifiable Information", such data, when aggregated, has been shown to be usable for de-anonymizing users.[11]
Users wishing to avoid these issues may opt to install a privacy-enhancing web browser extension, such as Ghostery, NoScript, or DoNotTrackMe, which identify widgets such as Disqus as web bugs,[14][15] and allow them to be blocked; this renders Disqus-powered commenting sections unviewable.
Disqus has also been criticized for publishing its registered users' entire commenting histories, along with a list of connected blogs and services, on the publicly viewable user profile pages.[16] The option to keep profile activity private was later added.
Disqus also was criticized for not giving users control over who follows them. Prior to 2014, any user could follow any other user, but a user being followed could not control or block who was following them, which led to harassment among some users.[17]
If Disqus shuts down, hundreds of millions of comments would be wiped away from a wide range of sites, since by the very nature of the service, comment content is not being managed locally by sites implementing the service. However, it is possible for site administrators to export all of their comments as an XML document which can then be ported into other commenting systems.[18]
In September 2014, it announced an update to its privacy policy: "Disqus will be using anonymous interest data for content personalization and ad targeting."[19]
In October 2014, It was revealed that Disqus was utilizing Blackhat SEO Techniques to publicize their site off the backs of the websites which have Disqus installed.[20]
2013 security breach
In 2013 a Swedish group called Researchgruppen obtained and exposed a large number of anonymous Disqus identities through the application programming interface (API).[21]The group cooperated with the Bonnier tabloid Expressen, who subsequently visited some of the commentators in their homes, confronting them with allegedly racist, misogynic, and derogatory sentiments. Researchgruppen, which includes people from the far left, said their database contained millions of comments from Disqus users around the world who are at risk of de-anonymization.[22][23][24] In March 2014, Expressen and Researchgruppen won the investigative reporting award Guldspaden.[25]
A delete button that does not delete
The Disqus user interface shows logged-on users an Edit button and a dropdown menu containing a Delete button next to each of their comments. After a simple confirmation, the comment disappears from the page. But, upon refresh, the comment is still there, credited to Guest. Instead of deleting the comment, Disqus "anonymizes" it. The user forever loses the ability to edit or delete the comment, with no warning. To effect true deletion of a comment, the user first has to Edit the comment's content before using the "delete" button. But the user only discovers this situation after the fact. The only recourse is to contact the moderator of the host web site and ask them to delete the commen
