How long has the this site been censoring questions regarding inquiries to the illegal immigration problem?

Rutroh

I had a question in violation today and I support some form of amnesty/ semi-legal status for those that are already in country/ those looking to come here.... And it was justified because it was to much statement and not really a good question....

So both sides are getting censored

kysteelgirl

has gotten much worse the last few months....i wonder if they hire illegals?

The censorship comes from people who disagree with you. I was once a level 5 but my account was suspended because of my strong conservative views. After I was suspended I started 2 new accounts; 1 I continued to speak strongly and passionately about conservative topics, the other I used as foul of language as I could possibly could. It did not take long for both accounts to get suspended but guess which one went first?

yahoo was threatened with lawsuit over the childish remarks they have allowed in the past. post responsibly and respectfully and no one has a problem with what you have to say. some kids here will report you just for disagreeing with their opinion. if you want to change illegal immigration problems,yahoo is not the place.

Once you piss someone off on this immigration forum...look out...because they will report you everyday until your account gets deleted.

I've had four or five questions deleted.

I tell ya, it is political correctness run amok. What ever happened to free speech?

do you think BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU?

I have not been on Yahoo Answers for long so I cannot accurately answer your question. I have never had a question deleted, but then, I have only asked one and it was just about technical issues.

I shall make an observation, however.

Yahoo allows more than I allow on my own board.

I see "questions" all the time that are nothing but bigoted slams. They do not have any point other than to say "I hate Mexicans, I hate Homos, I hate Blacks, I hate Gypsies, I hate whatever". They have no point other than to offend someone. There is no real question.

If Yahoo is deleting "questions" such as these, good for them!

If they are deleting valid questions from people who have controversial views, or questions posed politely from people who dislike a certain group of people, that is wrong. If they are censoring actual inquiries, rather than the "Mexicans/Blacks/etc are rotton, stinky, so and sos and shoud just die", they are wrong.

Everyone has the right to their opinion, however, I do not believe everyone has the right to bigoted slams with no point other than just that... bigoted slams.

Answer: They do not.

They remove questions and answers that violate their Community Guidelines. You can find them here:

http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_guidelines.php

People, this is not rocket science, nor is it a big conspiracy. Someone upstairs gave an example asking why the answer was deleted. Answer: it was indeed NOT an answer. ("Everyone else did it" does NOT mean it didn't violate the guidelines. You were free to report everyone else as well.).

I don't doubt that Yahoo Answers cannot possibly monitor every question and answer it gets, it relies on it's users to report abuse and it makes mistakes. And maybe their customer care should be more responsive. But the questions on this site seem strangely anti-illegal immigration and pro-conservative for a website that is supposedly performing censorship.

Seeing how Bush likes to censor all bad press, it's probably him doing it.

Since it started.

PoliticallyIncorrect

Since their feelings were hurt.........Awwwwwwwww
Yahoo is Liberal...Illegals are their friends

halarious

Perhaps it is the abusive or derogatory language with which the questions were asked.

Why do the Antis assume that their questions are the ones deleted? As I see it, there is backlash on both ends. It's clear that this issue is divided and that we can't get past the insults.

Since day one. The Yahoo Gestapo doesn't want you referring to illegals.

yea I know wha tyou mean. here is the most recent one i got -
it was in politics and the question was would you vote for a woman as pres.

my answer was -

For me , and thats the only person we can truly speak for, if I saw a woman presidential candidate who I really believed had their head on straight.. if they were going fight to bring the USA back toward what it started out and was intended to be.. well you bet your a** I would vote for her. Hillary just isnt that person. I dont believe her. I dont trust her. I would be just as welcoming to anyone, white black red or brown, woman, man.. whatever.

the email said i violated community guidlines. the ** was not a word edited by them it was what I typed. i surely wasnt being derogatory to anyone and I really have no idea what it was deleted for.

I emailed and asked out of curiosity but got no answer back. at least not yet.

Yes they just want to sweep the truth under the rug!

SilverPhoenix

I slipped under the radar one night. They were all probably on a coffee break. Either that or it surprised the hell out of them, they didn't know what to do.

Yes, and its mostly the pro-illegals doing the reporting, poor poor babys.

Maybe Yahoo needed some cheap labor and illegals do the trick!

Super_Patriot

I look forward to being censored from these low life's, I have a case just waiting. I have documented so many raciest comments geared toward legal Americans that any case they bring will be mute and I will win costs and damages.

It is not a problem to me. Maybe they are getting tired of all the bull you and your followers are putting out.The difference between illegal and legal, it is not racism and they are all on welfare. They live better tthan me and are stealing our taxes.Oldie but a goodie,they are all criminals and how come they do not think about this.

Never mind that most of you morons do not realize that most illegals are not reading this mess. I would say more than the majority do not have computers.

I post Questions for seniors and they are innocent questions every time my questions get over 20 answers, they deleate them and send me a violation. I posted 8 questions for Sunday and 8 hours latter 3 are deleated. I guess all my questions are going to be deleated I can't post any questions.
