The First Amendment to the Constitution reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
It states that the government cannot limit freedom of speech, not that a private entity such as Yahoo! Answers cannot. I agree with Y!A's right to censor, but not the government. You state that there is no censorship in other countries. I would like to see a constitutional limit in any country which limits the ability of a private party from censoring their own content. You state that as if it is a known fact with no evidence to support it.

I agree that the action of the Federal Reserve helped stabilize the present mess with the subprime loans. reducing costs of pastime, getting funds extra low priced, can help. on an identical time, i do no longer purely like the government tweaking the markets ordinarily. The Fed and Greenspan (who in many cases did an remarkable activity besides the reality that no one knew what the hell he became into saying fairly some the time) became into in a super area, to blame for the massive downturn in the early area of this decade. real, the tech bubble became into probable the excellent wrongdoer, alongside with different factors such because of the fact the Asian financial disaster contributed and the assaults on 9/11 however the mismanagement of holding costs of pastime intense helped. So, confident, it helped yet regularly the Fed's movements do no longer.

Yahoo is not under any obligation whatsoever in regards to free speech.
The US government along with state and local government is under an obligation to insure free speech via our constitution.
Free speech does not exist outside of what is guaranteed by constitution. That is why your place of work can tell you to STFU and so can Yahoo.

Yahoo is a private company. So, the provisions of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution do not apply to Yahoo.

Yahoo is a business, not a government entity. They are allowed to impose restrictions.
