This is a problem of inappropriate censorship on the social network site Nextdoor in Houston, TXI had used the site to educate and get support for advocating for healthier and non-glare LED street lights that do not violate the recommendations of the American Medical AssociationAt the time the lighting was being installed, I made quite a few educational posts that generated high interest and help from professionals including a realtor, a lawyer, an engineer and an architectA petition was started at the suggestion of the realtor and hundreds of signatures were gathered from Nextdoor usersDuring this period, there was never any attempt to remove any of the topic postsNextdoor does caution against over posting but gives an example of posting the same topic four times in one day...these posts were never on that levelIt also warns against soapbox issues but only on non-local issuesLighting directly affecting the neighborhoods involved seemed to be an appropriate topic of discu

Nextdoor has a section for people to sell their itemsI put items on there and they state I am not allowed and have frozen my account twiceAnd with no explanation
Nextdoor allows neighborhood "lead" to abuse me and my neighbors with insults publicly and delete posts for no reason Their Help Desk will not respond The phone number above is an answering machine ONLY

We are in the process of moving and I had used Nextdoor previously I wanted to see if it covered our new location, so I input the address we're under contract with I saw that it was covered and read the print that said to move forward through the app I needed to confirm I lived at the address I do not yet (expect to close next month), so I backed out Then I found out yesterday that Nextdoor used my information and sent a postcard with my information to the address (which is NOT my address and which is why I did NOT submit the request) We are under contract and I think the current owners could find this all a bit presumptuous and annoy them - potentially affecting the ultimate deal More so, I think it's a breach of privacy for Nextdoor to use my information when I did NOT complete the form (their email to me noted I had NOT completed the form)And of course they sent an email from an account that is not monitored so I couldn't quickly contact them I don't trust any of may data to this business
Nextdoor is great It really helps bind a neighborhood together It helps you get to know the neighbors, find useful local services and free items E.gwe just had a snowstorm and I found, through Nextdoor, someone to help us dig out The website and app are well-executed Highly recommended
Nextdoor violates the first amendmentNextdoor removed a post were I was simply giving my opposing viewpoint to other opinions about the quality of a local businessThe opposing view point violated NONE of the websites "guidelines"Nextdoor "claims" to be a resource where neighbors can get opinions on local resources and businesses ("Find out who does the best paint job in town")They also claim their "core values" are for open communication ("Communicate Openly")When I posted a comment about how I did not like the food from a business (which is my right to free speech, especially since they allow people to post that they like food from a business), the post was removedIt did not violate ANY of Nextdoor's "Community Guidelines"I did not use any bad language, I did not "discriminate against, attack, insult, shame, bully, or belittle others"I simply offered my opinion about a local business's foodIf Nextdoor is going to claim they are helping us to find a better business to
My account was suspended after many years as a member due to violating community standards and not using my "real" name which is *** ***They asked me to send in my driver's license which is incredibly insecure to do via emailI asked if they could simply utilize the county GIS data to verify my name on the deedIt happens to be *** ***k which in when I purchased the house was my father's name which I no longer useI conceded and said go ahead and change my name to the name on the deedThey stated they couldn't use GIS data which is public record and to mail in my driver's licenseI didThey claimed they never got itI emailed multiple times and they stopped respondingdays later my identity was compromised by someone in california attempting to open a bank account in my name using my driver's licenseNextdoor caused my identity to be compromised and now ignores emails
I posted purely factual information about a local zoning issue and I was immediately BANNEDNextDoor also banned a neighbor for innocuous posts about a local ballot issueClearly, the company is engaged in systematic censorship and it may be that any posts that "are bad for business" are being removedThe latter circumstance is due to the reality that this company hopes to get money from advertisers and so they are weeding out anyone who criticizes any aspect of the system, economy, social structure, or current affairsThis circumstance of banning people for frankly ordinary speech is exactly what we see in CHINA and RUSSIA and other Third World countries and obviously people in business here in the U.Shave decided to emulate and apply what the dictatorships in those countries are doingProbably the only recourse the public has to fight this kind of systematic censorship is to identify NextDoor advertisers and organize boycotts
When I first signed up for NextDoor or more years ago, I used an email account that I have since stopped usingSo, I had to create a NextDoor account recently with my current email accountI sent an email to NextDoor and got a specious, machine-written response
Nextdoor has been helpful and interesting in the neighborhoodHowever - I am EXTREMELY DISMAYED TO SEE ADS IN MY MESSAGES.!!!
This is not what Nextdoor is supposed to be!
I was infuriated with the *** Ad that signaled meMake up your minds - are you going to be truly "next door" or are you on the GREED-TRACK to make yourselves the next billionaires?
I USED TO LIKE WHO YOU WEREDON'T LIKE WHERE YOU ARE GOING!
Be done with *** Check out how they underpay their employeesSo little that many require food stamps to feed their families Be a little discriminating if you are going to be "next-door"
Policies and procedures and guidelines are not followed by leads and foundersThere is favoritism, violations of guidelines, abuse of power by Leads/Founders not following guidelines and favoring selected people (friends)I have been harassed and reprimanded for supposed guideline violations to where my account has been suspended and no violation of guidelines were provenCurrently I am seeing favoritism to selected members that are NOT following the guideline and no reprimands or warnings issued for the violationsThis is a hardship to those who are following the rules and guidelines as they are harassed by leads/founders and the friends of leads and foundersI have contacted Leads, Founders and support and have received no response on these concernsI have made several attempts to call Nextdoor directly and the phone number does not pick up and you cannot leave a messageThere is NO support or response
My account was blocked with no explanationI am unable to sign in and others have said the same thing has happened to themI received no explanation as to why my account was banned
Nextdoor fails to follow the practices that it states in policyThey DID NOT have any valid reason yet deactivated my account without proper notification (only sent one email and never responded to my reply)Although I responded right away to that email, more than hours have passed and they did nothing, and simply suspend my account with no further explanation or clarificationTheir unjustified action results in important communication being lost and caused significant inconvenience to my family and my neighborsNot only did they fail to notify members of potential problems and method on how to resolve miscommunication before taking actions, they disable accounts without notificationI suspect they disable account of members based on racial profile, which is an illegal practice
A horribly bias company that allows some people to post profanities while censoring others for questioning such attitudeIt is worse than *** censorship wiseFurther more, they are deeply in cahoots with Yelp to disable anyone from posting any comments about that site, just like monstrous ***! This big brothering really has to stop!
