I've noticed in the last few days that Yahoo! may not be as 'free and open' as most would expect. As far as I know, we still live in a society of free speech, where people may ask perfectly reasonable questions on such topics as the government, royal family, and issues about MP's.
Or do we?
Just one example of the Yahoo! Police: a person asked a question about Princess Diana's death, and it was suspiciously removed by Yahoo! Why? I'm not saying that the question itself was the best I've seen, nor was I all that interested in it, but it seems to have triggered a knee-jerk reaction from Yahoo! that raises more questions than the Diana question did.
Have you had a question deleted that seemed perfectly sane and within reason? Are you sick of being told what you can and can't say or ask? Treated like a child?
I think it's important we keep an eye on such behaviour - it smacks of control to many.
