Has anyone ever had big brother come over 4 speaking your mind in here?

Question

I have seen Qs&As get taken off the discussion board,or mysteriously disappear so I was wondering if something else might of happened ,or I guess it could be hackers.

Answer 1

Yes, I've had 3 of my answers deleted from yahoo. This happened 2 weeks ago and these were questions I answered 2 months ago. They claimed I was "chatting" in reality I was voicing my opinion.

Answer 2

it depends on the questions your asking. I doubt the government would be in here monitoring questions. Yahoo removes questions that are against the rules. Questions asking for chatting pertners, adult content, racial slurs or incredibly politically incorrect wording, harassment, impersonating someone, unsulting, not a question or answer, spamming, andertising, and some others. You can see a list of some under reporting abuse (the red flag under every question). Thats more likely what happened. Enough people report you for improper questions and they will probably get removed.

I looked at your questions, and although yours are mostly political in nature, you are giving yourself too much credit. No hacker is going to remove your posts, most likely they had bad wording, like how can i stop my hero saddam hussein from being hanged. The government isnt removing your posts either.

Answer 3

If you're asking if anyone has ever had the police or some other official agency visit their house because of something they posted here, I seriously doubt it.

Questions don't disappear around here because of "hackers". They disappear because the mods (godlike employees of Yahoo) decided they violated the rules. The mods wield the Mighty Maul of Deletion, you know.

Answer 4

I have never heard of it happening, but under this current, corrupt administration I wouldn't count out the possibility.

Answer 5

my bet would be that it is little brother. big brother isn't interested in our discussions.
