What happened to freedom of speech on this website !!!!????

Question

I posted a question that had nothing offensive to it, why did it get deleted ?? Now it's clear that it is a US website... It's like being in china with their censorship and all that c**p

Answer 1

Thumbs up for Reggie's answer.

I'll add that the way you are complaining, if you send a letter to the newspaper and it ends up that they don't publish it, I suppose you'd accuse the paper of violating your freedom of speech.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as freedom of speech.It's a pretty little thing we wish to believe.You can be sued for stating something, you can be censored.So where do we think we have freedom of speech?Certainly not on a public forum with rules and regulations that often times contradict their very rules.

Answer 3

The video is hilarious. First of all, your in a state where not only the president hails from, but , where even most americans think the most stupid people are from anyway. Who the h**l doesnt know where the berlin wall was, how many sides there are to a triangle or what a mosque is.

It angers me that other countries see us in that light. How's about instead of interviewing 10 people you interview 200. Perhaps they should also stay away from the inbred farm lands the rest of our country strays from as well.

Answer 4

Just what are you trying to achieve? No I don't "get it". Why don't you ask a real question instead of trying to get a desired reaction?

Answer 5

You should check the Yahoo! Q&A Guidelines.

Answer 6

As you will come to realize freedon of speech depends on who is listing to you.

Answer 7

This website is not run by the govt -- so constitutional protections do not apply. It's a private forum.

That being said, I have noticed very inconsistent application of Yahoo community guidelines. I got a violation notice and had an answer deleted because I added a one sentence comment at the end of a two paragraph answer saying the persons lack of spelling and grammar made it difficult to understand exactly what they were trying to ask.
