Were the Yahoo message boards removed to silence political dissidents?

Question

Do you feel that this is part of some censoring campaign to silence dissent, particularly of the controversial government's decision making?

Answer 1

There own account is that there were certain people who were dominating the discussions too much. But they were probably getting a ton of abuse complaints and they couldn't figure out how to shut down the multiple abusers, who found it easy to sign in using a different Yahoo account name.

It's about time to get this feature back up, I think - it's been months!

Answer 2

Yes, I believe it. But I'm not ruling out

other obvious factors either.

Answer 3

They were removed because of abuse not government control of the media.

Answer 4

Of course it's to silence the dissidents! I myself am currently on the run from various nefarious criminal elemants and clandistine paramilitary organizations, for reasons I obviously cannot discuss. In fact, you shouldn't even be reading this! CLOSE YOUR EYES!

Answer 5

No, I think that they were removed because they were getting more abuse reports than they wanted to deal with.

Answer 6

Yes, political and otherwise.

And whay are they POSTING my question? Asked this question TWICE and they refuse to post it! I asked "Are you sick of all the new ads in your Yahoo email and on Y/A?"

It's in my profile--feel free to answer!!!

Note how long ago I asked these questions that still havent been posted.
