Basically, because the Internet encompasses so many different viewpoints, religions, opinions, and ideas, what Yahoo has created by allowing access to anyone, is a haven for the sane, insane, prejudiced, tolerant, Christians, non Christians, liberals, conservatives (you get the idea). When they disagree or annoy each other the abuse button gets clicked and the sheer number of reports makes it impossible to track and provide customer service for each one. \n\nLet us hope that they at least give consideration to reports before completely canceling an account.

Yes they do. They ignore our reports of abuse a lot of the time, when other users are in clear violation of insulting other participants. Nothing is done a lot of the time about this, and our very fair answers to these bigotted questions are unfairly deleted. I had it happen to me the other night. It is just another form of oppression. And I am very sick of it. Alright guys, is this the official boycott Yahoo page? I'm in.

In order for Yahoo! (or any other company) to do business with the Chinese, they must comply with the government demands. This usually means that they supress any sort of information that is out of line with the Chinese government. Companies like Google and Yahoo are willing to comply with these requirements because if they don't, another company will simply come along and do it. These corporations aren't willing to pass up the big bucks in an emerging market like China's, so they are willing to censor its users. I live in China and there are many websites I cannot use. "Dangerous" words like "freedom" and "Tibet" and "human rights" do not return any results on search engines here in China. \n\nIn short, there was money to be made by Yahoo. And they took it.

Ask yourself is it ethical for the US government to waltz into any country and change everything to a democracy even if the people in that country have perhaps never even heard of it.\n\nIts like walking into someones house, they offer you bread, and you say "No, i want chips!". Theyre gonna think your rude and obnoxious, as well as probably never inviting you back again.\n\nSo, if Yahoo goto China and accept the countries tules and regulations, its showing not only obliging, but also that China can trust these foreign companies, making it easier for others to do the same thing.

I feel they are traitorous and have turned their back on the United States.  It's all about money.  Yahoo doesn't really care what anyone in America thinks as long as they keep hauling in the big bucks.

I heard about this! This is the info I got. Yahoo (among other companies) are providing information about user website patterns and e-mail accounts in exchange for the Chinese government allowing them to operate there. From what I understand, other e-mail server, such as hotmail were given the same opportunity and declined.

To all intents and purposes Yahoo has no Customer Support - they believe that it is a waste of resources which are dedicated to development.  Take it or leave it.\nI agree it is very aggravating.

Well because its yahoo.  Next time just play with friends for money.  Their stocks falling.

And you are so much better than they are by stating these things in this crude manner in an open forum?\n\nDo you have the proof to back these allegations up with or is this just your opinion on how things are in China?

Unfortunately many of us have suffered under the dirty tactics of the right wing. I refuse however to be beaten. Yahoo just won't have the pleasure of my emails or a 360 profile in preparedness for the next suspension.

In this particular case I think there was a hiccup in the whole system...I posted 3 questions and was expecting to see that they all had been yanked but no all three showed up...I say just boycott the empty headed yahooos who keep asking all those nasty questions...now they get on my last nerve!

Okay... \n1.) You are an idiot. Yahoo are the evil capitalists here, they're the ones who sell out, they're the ones who offer site better placement in search results if they pay money.\n2.) You're an idiot. MSN is run by Microsoft (But I'm assuming you already know that), the even more shitty company that brings you computers that are impossible to handle or work with, Game systems that are put together from parts they practically buy right of the shelves (not to mention that they don't even make enough 360's to bring around, causing global chaos), they're the ones who try to think of new ideas... But google beats them to it.\n\nGoogle's products are better. \nTheir search engine is better than Yahoo's or MSN's. (and yes, I do realize that Yahoo is powered by Google, the difference is Yahoo sells out. See Above.)\nTheir browser (firefox) is better than IE.\nYahoo actually went to China first. \nWhat you don't see is that Google is doing the world a favor. Google paved the way for the internet... and they still are.

SOMEBODY in the upper echelon got MASSIVELY STUPID and tried to bite off far more than YAHOO can chew insofar as offering services.\n\nYAHOO is like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke. LEAKS are springing up everywhere - in virtually every section.\n\nIf YAHOO had half as many TECHS as they do BUREAUCRATS to patrol answers - SOMETHING MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK RIGHT.

Organisations such as Reporters Without Borders have made that accusation. However, Yahoo has denied it saying it "never releases information to the Chinese Government."

Wow Sean, I didn't know they kicked you off. Good to see you back on the horse. I have not been on much lately, so let me pay my respects to your old account a few days late. Yahoo has become particularly Nazi-ish lately. I received a 2nd violation the other day (for not agreeing that Allah is god), and I usually word everything so that it won't be deleted. Don't let them get you down. Just be more careful. Have a good night.

Very good question..\nPerhaps because the people that run yahoo are liberal dems...
