AOL

I have been with aol since the 90 's.. And for the last year or so everytime I check my aol mail on part of my mail the subject line is there but the some of real mail is jibber jabber that I cannot read I have tried several times to reset this but no luck.. Then when I call aol for help the say I need to have a paid account before they can fix it, why.. I am seriously thinking about starting a class action lawsuit that will cost them millions of dollars.. I normally do not think like this but when I when I fill taken advantage of I am going to do what is right.. Now I tried to reset my my mail with a new password and really get the run around I have to go to aol and read my mail is what the phone tech told me, hmm seems like fraud. I willing to find out and will talk to my nephew who is a county sheriff detective.. Thanks for listening but this is really low for any business to do, hold peoples e-mail hostage for a profit.

My comments were censored today because I mentioned "Huckabee" while commenting on an article about Joe Biden and his SOTU speech. I commented to another person that Sarah Huckabee Sanders made rebuttal remarks after Biden's speech. The person thought there was no rebuttal. When they sensored the comment, it said I should change it. I did by only stating Sarah Sanders. They allowed the commetn then. I saw that "Huckabee" did not violate your rules. So, I edited the comment with "Sarah Huckabee Sanders" again. The commetn was censored again. I wrote another comment affredded to AOL. I used the name "Huckabee" again. They censored it. I again wrote "Huckabee" in another comment. It was sensored and I was banned from commenting. I think congrees should know about this cennsoring and banning you are doing. I have used AOL since 1998 or 1999. It is ashamed that you have such sensitive and boased /people working for you.

When will commenting be turned back on?
Or do I have to go learn to navigate Truth Social?
Ok, I was just told that this message is too short and you want me to elaborate on the topic before sending. Okay, hold on a second... I have a frozen meal from The Tattooed Chef coming out of the microwave. I'll eat it while I compose my thoughts.

Munch munch munch...
Now, where was I? Oh yes, the commenting. You see, I like commenting. And AOL messaging boards are really fun to comment on. It's like... playing mental ping pong... Okay, it's really like being in a mental mosh pit, but you get the point.
Please, turn the boards back on. :) Thanks.

With no warning I was kicked off AOL for expressing my views, especially on Leftist biased geared articles. Trying to find the department that you can appeal to is impossible to find. They apparently track your name by email or user log on, since changing my name on the comments results in the same suspension. We're just starting to learn how Big Tech is censoring freedom of speech along with the involvement of the current Govt. administration. I have copied all of my comments and have sent them to my House Representative and Senators for their use in abolishing section 230, which I'm sure this House will successfully accomplish. Twitter is teaching us what we can expect, and it's just a matter of time when Google and their cohorts at AOL are drawn into this First Amendment violation, and possible criminal activity when colluding with the Federal Government.

My e mail accounts [protected]@aol.com and [protected]@aol.com have been blocked. I have asked AOL to help but their screening is so tight, I am unable to answer all their questions

This has happened before - not long ago - at that time I managed to speak to their Technical Team and was told I had been hacked and they downloaded a Cisco Firewall to make sure it did not happen again!

Well it has happened. I have urgent messages and documents on both these accounts. I need help now URGENTLY

so eloquently states;

This kind of 8888 is why our culture is going to 8888. Who would like to obtain from the highest law maker or judge or statesman, a punch list of how a person can protect themselves from these leeches. I would be first in line to agree that there's plenty of 8888888's out there who should be punched in the nose... Nonetheless let's look at the honorable Judge Brett Kavanaugh... If the women pulled her panties off and pushed him to the ground and beat him there falling beneath him, well there should not be an issue . . . Again let's see a punch list, short of going to a notary and having an affidavit filled out and signed of how a person can perform that act where the touch is applicable and exactly what time and where... Plus having a camera crew and audience there to make sure all the above conditions were meet... Let's get real what are these people really after...

in regards to below article

First Let me state you are a group of stupid little narrow minded self rigorous full of your own [censored] censors. Having a comment rejected because I referred to Joe Biden as just plain stupid, is beyond belief. Grow up. He is called far worse than that in the press and if offends you find another job.

I could understand if I referred to him as an [censored], the way I feel about your little group. That would be grounds for deleting my comment or if I said he has [censored] for brains as your group does I might understand that. Or If I thought he sat around jerking himself off all day as you probably do well that would be impolite. but I didn't say any of those things.

But this on is for you

I've been having this problem for a month. The last e-mails that I received into Outlook was a month ago. I can log onto the AOL server directly and view my verizon.net email but not from Outlook. The generate app password is not available at this time and it's the only solution that I've seen to resolve this issue. I also need to move my Outlook e-mails and the AOL e-mails to a place where I can consolidate and access all of them.

I have had free AOL mail for many years as [protected]@aol.com ,but recently I cannot access my account. Usually, in the past all I had to do was mouse on the mail heading at AOL and it would take me directly to new and old mail, etc. But now I get request for my email address (which is the one I show above) When I enter my email address, I get the response, "we don't recognize this email." Then it asks for my phone number so AOL will send me an 8 character code which will be sent to my phone. I give my phone number, but my phone never rings even though AOL acts as if they are sending me the code. I ask what is going on? I wish to keep my AOL mail account, but I don't know how you will answer my complaint as I do not have access to my AOL mail account. Help me.

After 31 years of uninterrupted service in mid to late June, 2022, my email address was canceled with no notice, no phone number and no warning.

I have called AOL every week for months with no resolution. The case number is [protected]. I wrote a letter to The Corporate Office in New York City to no avail.

This is a business email and has cost me into the tens of thousands of dollars and immeasurable time. I am filing a complaint with The Attorney Generals Office as well as The FCC. [protected]@aol.com

Why is it that over the last few days I click on a news article,

then scroll to the comments, there are none! I click on the blue bar to go to the comments and...NOTHING! I've tried opening AOL up on my phone though Google search for AOL, I've used AOL app, I've tried on my laptop through once again a Google search and last of all through Chrome! AOL, WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT? Dont try and fix something that wasn't broken. AOL have taken the voice of people away yet still get to ( obviously) post news articles.

I have come to the conclusion that you are part of the most inept communication services media in the world, Not only do you support racism and hatred, you don't even have the balls to allow someone to post anything that could negatively reflect on demented and the brain dead's; as the Biden Administration is known by those in the know.

So as AOL is being recognized as the corporate version of Sam Bankman Fried, know that you members of the 4th Reich, Biden's Nazis make me sick with your censorship, and as people starve or get murdered in the streets in cities across America, you AOL can take pride in knowing you helped create the disaster that is unfolding across this country, over 350 people dying each day between drug overdoses and murders in America, thanks AOL for playing an integral role in promoting hate, racism, drug abuse and murder. AOL hold your heads high as the body count approaches 150,000 dead this year, you have helped make this all happen, How proud you must be.

AOL news is the most biased reporting service. You should be ashamed of how biased your reporting is. It is a disgraced to your customers who are not one side or the other. The headline today Martha Vinyard backfires on Floria governor. No one in their right mind believes that story. Why is AOL news not doing stories on the Texas border and seeing all the flooding and human suffering cause by Mr Biden.

For the last week my ability to comment has been restricted without ANY explanation! Why?

If I have been complained about by someone who fears criticism I need to know and you're duty bound to inform me of the alleged reason surely?

In USA you appear to have a warped home meade view of what 'free soeech' is all about and that democracy belongs to those rich enough to buy it!

This is not the case and I want to know why my ability to comment about news items has been curtailed please

AOL has no email address to report complaints or problems, just a phone number. When I called AOL , it took 4 minutes before they answered I ask how to report fraud and was told that there was no way to report fraud. I was explicitly told that AOL does not have a Fraud Department. I did eventually find a site where they list past complaints (undated), as well as the AOL response to the complaints. Of the approximately 220 complaints that were listed, 20 were listed as resolved and 200 were listed as unresolved, so they obviously make little effort to deal with complaints. So four minutes to get to them, no email option to complain, and little effort by AOL to deal with this. My phone call took place on Saturday October 8, 2022 at 3 PM.

My father passed away in January 2022 and in April of 2022 his card was charged over 200.00 for an auto renew. Not knowing he signed up for this, I didn't know that until the charge appeared on card statement. When I called AOL they said they could not CANCEL. You cant bill a deceased person for computer support. I explained that he has not used it and wont. I called another department and no return calls to resolve the issue. I've cancelled the credit card in settling the estate so a check needs to be issued to the estate.

This complaint is regarding an AOL article regarding Lady Gaga cancelling a concert due to bad weather. On September 18, 2022 at approximately 6:40 pm, AOL censors allowed a man to make the comment that any woman that is sexually assaulted should learn something from the experience. He also made the comment that he would beat his daughters and granddaughter with a belt in order to prevent them from dressing in any way that may show their bodies. AOL allowed both these comments. I then commented that Rape is a crime and there is no justification for rape. I tried to make this comment in many different ways. In short, my comments were repeatedly denied, while AOL printed and supported the words of a man that clearly supports and justifies sexually assaulting women. This is inexcusable. I understand AOL's needs and rights to censor comments online. I understand that AOL is a private business. What I don't understand is AOL's support and justification of sexual assault and rape. I am personally OUTRAGED. We live in a society where one out of every three girls is sexually assaulted before graduating from High School. Where is there hope, if AOL tolerates rape talk online?

After many years of exemplary service, the AOL email customer support teams have not been functional for years. It was always remote. But when the world went to remote mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AOL got flummoxed. It took months of no response to get AOL to acknowledge that technical support (of any kind) for Windows 7 was non-existent. Then Internet Explorer disappeared. I finally gave up and tried to stop my billing. That took over a year.

Now the new AOL email format is unnegotiable. I cannot fathom why someone made this decision.

But I do know I do not need to pay for non-existent services!

Customer service provided no resolution, and only referred me to "Premium Customer Service" so from what I can tell the first bunch is not customer service at all, they perform a few perfunctory BS moves that don't work and then tell you they want to forward you to the "Premium (paid for by you) Customer Service" what a scam...My email quit working but the regular customer service wouldn't even try the troubleshooting steps I suggested IE pinging the POP and SMTP servers. "we can't do that" they said and offered no reason why not, I asked to speak with a supervisor they replied "They are all in a meeting" (9:00PM Romania time, Can you have the Supervisor call me back "They cannot do that",again no reason. AOL is trying to milk money 39.95 a month for Customer Service. I have never in my life had to pay for this. So in this case there is no Customer Service unless you pay for it.

I have absolute proof positive that aol does not "reject" commentors' language, but commentors themselves!

I have attached two screenshots of two comments that were made and "rejected" by aol's communist monkey patrol, because "the launguage was offensive"! Lmaorofl!

There is nothing "offensive" about these comments at all! They are clean comments with no bad language, no threats to anyone, and no curse words of any kind! And yet, these 100% clean comments were "rejected" for "bad language"!

Aol is now 100% a communist ran site!
