On a scale of 1-10, how stupid is the idea that shutting down comments in Yahoo News is censorship?
First person to answer 10 gets BA or whatever they're calling it these days.
BQ: What percentage of people making this stupid claim would you reckon also believe that private companies should be permitted not to serve gay people or Muslims or to fire their employees for no reason whatsoever?
I don't generally read Yahoo News, but offhand my guess would be the reason for shutting down comments is they're a cesspool,. I mean this is the Internet after all.
To clarify: Yahoo News≠Yahoo Answers. Yahoo seems to have disabled comments on both simultaneously. I'm asking about the former only because of all the near-identically wacked-out comments I've been seeing on the subject here. I don't know if these are independently conceived expressions of near-identically wacked-out world-views or if they're all getting their talking points from the same sources. But either way it's dumb.
