"Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback to help us enhance the experience." —Yahoo!

Comments have been a place where people can discuss the merit of the story, accuracy, dissenting opinion, political implication, or other related topics.   The discussion is not always friendly but as a reader, you can choose to look at it or not. 

People have correctly expressed that this is not a 1st amendment issue since it is a corporation limiting speech.  The internet, as a speech platform, however, is so powerful that with mega-size companies taking away the speech platform it is, in essence, limiting speech.  

Be brave, let people express themselves.
