Why did Yahoo censor my question?

Question

I posted a question about African Americans. I was polite and respectful and my question was removed. This is propaganda and censorship, how can we allow this in our society? This is the death of free thought and expression...

Answer 1

Rephrase and post it again

Answer 2

dead alright with monks coming and pushing folks around.

Answer 3

That sucks. It's really sad when people dictate how much or how little society can handle. I wonder why people can't handle freedom of speech...is it because they're hardly aware of its existence? hmmmm

Answer 4

Censorship is a form of free thought. Not a good one and I say it should be boycotted at all cost, but it is one none the less. I offer no excuse for the actions of Yahoo and can only hope that your question will find it's answer.

Answer 5

For many it is not a discovery but a fact...I am sure that you was polite and respectful, but those who monitoring a censorship is not a philosophers, but employee of certain agencies with certain policies..It is not a death of free thoughts and its expressions,yet.. But very likely would be any moment soon.Never know.

Answer 6

well ... it might hav been really contraversial to provoke disunity / might have been hurting religious sentiments / it might have to defame the star politicians...

whatever, freedom of thought and expression should never be confined or restricted ....!!

In every era, there have been records that the superior big brothers boss around and restrict this freedom ......

which isnt uncommon, yet needs to be checked !!

Answer 7

Because someone didn't like it and reported it.The system is automatic from there. I would just repost the question.

Answer 8

A monk said to Yueh-shan, "I have a problem. Will you solve it for me?"

Yueh-shan said, "I will solve it for you tonight."

That evening, Yueh-shan ascended the high seat, and said, "Will the monk who has the problem step forward?"

The monk stepped forward. Yueh-shan descended from his seat, grasped the monk by the lapels of his robe, and called out, "Oh, monks, this fellow has a problem!" Then he pushed him away and walked out.
