Yahoo Censorship

Linux

This is pretty much all hearsay at this point, but according to a story posted in April on Slated, Yahoo has been censoring comments and disabling the email accounts of users that suggest an open source alternative to Microsoft in their user-contributed ‘yahoo Answers’ service claiming it is a breach of their terms of service. The irony in this, or course, is that Yahoo’s entire system is powered by a bevy of FreeBSD servers according to Netcraft. Although I would miss the Yahoo Groups functionality I’ve grown to *like*, and now Flickr is owned by Yahoo too, I’m still glad I dumped that stock a long time ago - crash and burn Yahoo, good riddance.
