On other blogs than Midas Oracle, the Askimet anti-spam technology actually blocks legitimate comments from honorable people, and, hence, blocks free speech on the Internet.

I am one of those &#8220-honorable people&#8221- who get caught in Askimet&#8217-s net. Any blog running Askimet will refuse any of my comments. I have never submitted any illegitimate comment, though.

It&#8217-s a big scandal.

Askimet = Shit.

    Akismet is just a tool bloggers can choose to use, or not.  I find it very useful, even if it has flaws.

    Certainly software that categorizes comments for bloggers is not censorship.  The software just categorizes comments for bloggers, that can choose to publish posts that were categorized as spam.
