There are multiple - Yahoo has to provide a safe environment over a great many nations, personalities, governing laws, and beliefs. With this in mind - consider porn. Yahoo has three levels of Safe Search filter. Certain terms automatically turn it on (like: "bikini") while others do not ("sex"). This feature is only accessible if you click on it and alterable by any person on the certain computer. Should Yahoo ban adult content. Is it their job or the parents of the child to enlist other means of filtration? As a search engine, do they have the right (in any setting/ country) to filter content? Another example would be the Answers (and it applies as well to Yahoo email, Yahoo Messenger, Music, Videos, Personals) - the Community Guidelines restricts sexual, racial, or other adult type content. Does it violate your freedom of speech - what if you are in another country - do you still have those same rights? The advertising Yahoo does on their pages - does it benefit their company, give a good image of Yahoo when promoting the company? When people sell/ buy stuff on Yahoo or promote their business with or through Yahoo - does what business supported or done on or through Yahoo possibly going to stir some debate? The news on Yahoo - they not only post their own, but get information from other sources - is it free advertising of the other companies/ instill unfair competition because it is on their site and not other search engines?
