Who you wanna call a ******?

Different organizations have different rules.  Each organization has the right to make its own rules.

censorship sucks

Answer 4

FCC has to be careful about censorship and 1st ammendment rights.  Yahoo! is a privately owned company with the ability to make whatever rules they want for their own websites. Just like you can choose not to allow that word in your house because you own it and you make the rules.
