HENDERSON, Nev. - TelAve -- A U.S. consumer advocate says automated moderation algorithms on platforms are preventing stranded airline passengers from accessing helpful free information about their legal rights. Posts explaining UK261 protections were repeatedly removed.

The issue arose after Norse Atlantic Airways passengers reported cancelled flights that stranded them in London, New York and Oslo. Under UK261, airlines must provide hotel accommodations, meals, transportation, and reimbursement for out‑of‑pocket expenses during disruptions, including those caused by weather. Many passengers say they received no assistance from Norse.

To help travelers file claims, advocate Glenn Welt created norsevictims.com, a free site offering a ready‑made claim form tailored for Norse passengers. Attempts to share the form existence on Reddit and Tripadvisor were removed within seconds, without citing a violation.

"People were stranded,  paying for hotels, meals and new airline tickets to go home. They didn't know they could get reimbursed by filing a claim," Glenn said. "I posted accurate, noncommercial information to help them and automated systems blocked it every time."

Posts were labeled as "self‑promotion" despite containing no commercial content. In several cases, even text‑only explanations of UK261 rights were removed.

Digital‑rights observers say this incident reflects a broader problem.  Automated filters increasingly suppress legitimate consumer‑protection content, especially during emergencies when travelers refer to online platforms for help.

Norse Atlantic Airways has not issued a statement addressing the stranded passengers' reports or the blocked attempts to share claim‑form information.
