Is shutting down the online comments section tantamount to censorship or not?

Asked by flo (13313points) December 16th, 2015

Which newspapers have shut it down? How come some editors and some readers (a small percentage I imagine) hate the comments section under newspaper articles, that they promote the end of it? On the other hand they are for unfethered freedom of speech on any other venue? I don’t get it.
