Comments on: Do you think the staff at Yahoo is qualified to censor our freedom of speech rights?

They are, because you do not have free speech rights in a private domain. You agreed to terms of service when you signed up for this site and they are well within their rights at Yahoo! to terminate your access if you violate that agreement. The law is fully on Yahoo!'s side, maybe you should consider taking responsibility for your actions instead of complaining.

AH! Hello!

It is their Website – they have terms which you agree to before being allowed to play here on the playground, so you as I are a guest here. We do have the right and ability to start our own site if we wish.

The Internet is public communication, so I say it is a violation of our 1st amendment and freedom of speech. There just hasn't been enough people to exercise their right to petition yet. When that happens, yahoo will drop the board, just like they did the one to discuss the news.

It depends whether it is a preference for one candidate over the other or if it is a legitimate claim. I have had questiojns removed. The reason given was that I did not answer the question. However, in reality, the question was the first thing answered with a Yes or a No. Then, I supported my answers. It really depends on whether or not the person who removes them is educated or not. I mean, really, how difficult is it to understand that Yes or No are answers?

It's legal because they are a private company. If you are in a restaurant talking real loud and swearing they have the right to throw you out.

No it’s not illegal….

BUT…. Coming from a company that gave a communist country information to arrest people who spoke their minds, it doesn’t surprise me.

Yahoo wished the US was more like China so they could have people that speak out against Obama arrested. That is probably a wet dream for them.
