How long will Y/A remain free from political interference?

Question

I just answered a question on Iran and found that if I included a link to a Noam Chomsky lecture on you tube i got a 999 error and could not post but if i include a link to a skateboarding dog there is no problem, also no link at all is OK. I don't think free expression has long to live.

Answer 1

Same here but no link - that debate was just getting to melting point too... I was just about to give him both barrels... shame!

Freedom may have died some time ago and we didn't notice, anyway the policy is well and truly revealed now.

They don't want prime time America to hear the debate, they are being prepared for war again, definitely corporate / political pressure of some sort.  You hit the coffin nail on the head, freedom is dead... obviously, as a neocon... ; ) ... I blame the skateboarding dog!

I'll star this one.  I'll miss freedom... I wonder when the blackshirts will appear?  If they chuck me in an asylum I'll insist on playing Wagner - loudly and often.

I have my tin foil hat on and detect nearby dark presences in my water.  Meanwhile I'm going to see if I can check out your answers to Q's I wasn't on...

>>>EDIT

Which reveals that I can't see the answers Sly refers to... so the dead hand of deletion has twitched once more.

Answer 2

Right! Everybody! Time to don the tin foil hats.

Answer 3

You read the y/a GUIDELINES....yes. I never thought the y/a

police would be soooo brutal and petty. We The People comes to mind, but no body here has heard of that at y/a.

The funny thing about this is i voted for the change. But i was

under the impression it was to weed out....the brain dead. So

I deserve the " MORON " award. Truly sorry.

Answer 4

I have just Had the same problem with a couple of other Answers and links One was of Hitler and the other was G Bush's minister!

So I have just rebooted and done a sweep for Spy ware I found 6 of the buggers!

I will now try to add the links!

EDIT I have tried again, with no luck!

It could be that Yahoo Answers is having one of it's little moments!

OR!

Answer 5

Answer 8

They are certainly turning fascist.  Freedom of speech is very controlled here and they disappear questions and answers that they do not like.  Too bad America is losing it's freedom of speech protected under the Constitution of America.

i will be surprised if you get this response because they do not like criticism.  oh no sam i am... green eggs on ham...

they do not.  but then again you might because American hasn't turned completely fascist yet.

Answer 9

Youre a little too late. The yahoo censor trolls had been let out almost a year ago to protect the Obamabots.

Answer 10

Did you copy the link correctly? what was it? But Y!A has always been prone to censorship in one form or another, so if true it wouldn't be president setting...
