political censorship

I have a question on Seeking Alpha policy on political censorship. Most of my comments were being censored and canceled recently. I didn't brake any Seeking Alpha platform rules, used any profanities or made any personal attacks. Just voiced my opinion and stated some facts which are admittedly not aligned with official Western narrative regarding Russia-Ukraine war and other historic events. I can't see any other explanation of this but political censorship, 
If it is an official Seeking Alpha policy and its users forbidden to voice certain political views or opinions on current or past world events on this platform, fine, I get it.
Just reflect it in your platform policy and clearly state it.

If moderators are making their decisions solely based on their personal political preferences or affiliations than I see this as a problem that needs to be addressed.

I bet someone complained. That  is USUALLY what happens. Some closed minded woke person turned you in.

Have noticed the same thing. All of a sudden my comments have been disappearing & my count is stuck. I have not changed neither has my views or comments. Censorship has increased. I have heard others complain as well. Maybe just before the complaining comments are removed. I have quit every site that started doing this. I am not interested in "controlled" truth.

@SA Admin Shubham Shresth I checked the site comment policy once again and the link you provided. 
There were no break of any rules in my comments, they were censored and never appeared solely on political views basis. 

You should update your comments policy about that and clearly state that comments that you don't approve because of you political affiliations or views are not allowed to be published.

Eventually my user ID was blocked for the crime of having and repeatedly posting inappropriate political views.
