Why does this forum tolerate questions inciting hatred, racisim, and genocide?

Question

I have read an alarming number of hate filled questions hardly veiled for being the racist genocidal statements they advocate.

I am speaking of questions aimed against Jews by hate filled people with their own genocidal agenda.

Where are the Yahoo moderators?

Answer 1

I think all of us need to keep closer tabs on hate questions and answers. It is a little hard for me to restrain myself when I see this religious BS from any quarter.

All this is compounded by the fact that we have no way of knowing that the writers are who they say they are or what they say they are. It is apparent that some very extremist material is coming to the surface.

I have run across some Q&A stuff where I could confirm people have said. "I.m reporting you again." Or the person with the question comes on with BS and says "go ahead and report me" Like, "Go ahead for all the good it will do you."

I noted a couple of people who just wirte the word "Report" as their answer to hate or foul questions. I have started to do that and report also. This not only sends a message to the Yahoo moderators but is kind of a "public" censure for all to see.

I think if we all just typed "report" some of these people might wake up. Others will not. Some just want to make waves and still others are hate filled people with a religious excuse.

It is a fact that we have terrorist cell groups operating in different countries and they could have paid writers coming on-line, in venues such as this, just to pit people against each other.

I suggest that each person consider the violence potential of questions and answers and report. Some of these "questions" are retorical / don't expect an answer. If the level of hatred continues to increase; there are other concerned agencies which might be able to give Yahoo moderators some pointers.

Answer 2

I think you're seeing a good representation of the mindset of the general populace represented here.

It bothered me, as well. Then I got to thinking about what the right to free speech really means.

Like it or not, those viewpoints have a place in any free speech forum. I grant you, Yahoo prohibits such revolting questions/statements. But, the beauty of this forum lies in the fact that it is not strictly policed, and therefore all points of view are represented.

I comfort myself with the thought that anyone who becomes a convert to a hate-group because of a contact made here was probably well on their way to being a creep already.

Answer 3

I don't understand racism towards jews. I don't like it. And I do understand that up to some degree it should be censored. But I still think that you have to allow people their freedom of speech. If you try to take that away, people will start to wonder if you are a communist...just kidding. Seriously though, you have to allow so much freedom, but those people should respect that you are doing that. Yahoo lets people say what they want, but with the understanding that it won't be as explicit as a rap song. Stupid people betray that freedom, and it restricts everybody's rights. Those people should have all their freedoms stripped from them for some amount of time, just so they can appreciate how good they have it.

Answer 4

Because even if Yahoo had the resources to moderate the tens of thousands of posts per day, doing so would cause them to lose the legal protections that are afforded to data service providers.

Yahoo does not control the content here. Their abuse system is in place to prevent the worst offenders. But if Yahoo tried to control the content, they would be liable for the content.

Propaganda and hate messages are going to appear in any large forum. That's the price of free speech. But when it cross the lines into protected categories like true threats, those affected are welcome to take civil action.

Answer 5

Why do you and others fear open discussions regarding race? Are you worried certain "truths" may come to light, exposing your illogical Utopian daydreams of brotherhood? Thankfully, the Internet still allows a certain degree of free speech. But don't concern yourself. I'm sure ignorant nincompoops such as you will eventually get your way and finally force others to be silent when they don't agree with your ridiculous, totalitarian views,.....you Communist reprobate.

Answer 6

It is the American way.

Yahoo needs to compete with zionist CNN and FOX and other corporatist and racist media for ratings.


PS: The Jews have massacred a nation. Imagine if someone had done that against Israel!

Answer 7

Dont be a little ******. See we have a freedom called free speech. People can say whatever they want, cuz this is the internet and nothing happens when u get suspended

Man up, wipe away your tears and shut up!

Answer 8

Good question. Between the religeous hatred and the obscene remarks on here, there are times when it seems like thats all there is. Of course no one seems to care that there are children on here.

Answer 9

It's only bad when we speak against the Israelis? This country is involved in the murder of hundreds of innocent women and children. In the name of common decency, we should all stand up against this land-grab.

Answer 10

Freedom of speech is a wonderful right that we all share,unfortunately their are idiots that use this freedom to spew whatever ignorant and irresponsible thought that might cross their teeny-tiny brain cell.
