Yahoo, as a private corporation, isn't obligated to observe 1st Amendment speech rights as the federal government is. In the same sense that you don't have the right to call your boss an incompetent a**hole, then claim "free speech" to keep from him/her canning you.

Unless YA is owned buy the federal government, you have no 1st Amendment issues. They are a private company and can delete anything they want.

While I agree that question shouldn't have been removed, you should understand that the first amendment doesn't apply to Y/A it is a privately owned site and they can make their own rules. he question was probably removed due to someone reporting it. Why they reported it I haven't a clue.

The First Amendment does not cover speech made on a privately owned medium.
Maybe next time you should do a little research.

"A right does not include the material implementation of that right by other men; it includes only the freedom to earn that implementation by one's own effort..."
"The right of free speech means that a man has the right to express his ideas without danger of suppression, interference or punitive action by the government It does nor mean that others must provide him with a lecture hall, a radio station or a printing press through which to express his ideas."

You have no constitutional rights in a private form.
The 1st Amendment only protects you from govt censorship.
Yahoo is not the govt. They are a private company, and can allow (or not allow) anything they want.

You signed away all rights when you agreed to yahoo's TOS. But I assume you didn't read it, or you would know that.
Sorry pal, tough luck. Obey the rules, and you won't get violation notices.
