> It is very difficult to find the truth Well, not for me. I was monitoring the war at that time and I saw a report by Lifenews (pro-Kremlin media) that the rebels shot down Ukrainian AN-26. It wasn't actually that shocking since it wasn't the first time it happened. But then the word about the Boeing came down and, oh my, I've never seen people erase their tweets and videos so fast. But it's the internet, not goverment controlled media, can't really erase everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsmVZmSBaEg


Closed comments on a website are clear sight that the editorial staff can't take public criticism.


Or simply that they feel low quality comments detract from the site relative to whatever engagement/informational value they add. Some types of sites in particular (consumer gadgets for example) seem to attract lots of warring fanboy-ism without much in the way of signal. Yes, turning off comments is something of a nuclear option but you can't chalk it up purely to blocking criticism.
