Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why do you suppose Yahoo! doesn't object to exporting hate filled messages to the whole world?

I assume it doesn't object because this site transmits messages of hatred worldwide instantaneously via the Internet and Yahoo! does little or nothing about stopping it. The hate filled messages posted by racists, bigots and homophobes stay on site for long periods of time while minor violations of the TOS like "chatting" are treated much more stringently. Meanwhile it's getting to be like a cesspool around here.

    Good point. I believe it is because these hatemongers, racists, and other general "undesirable" people are the loudest, and will complain to no end about their "constitutional right" to voice their opinion. Of course, if you oppose that opinion with your own, they will also be the first to say you have no right to do so.

    Yes, but there are also messages condemning hatred and bigotry. The world can also see that there are many people who also respect another person beliefs. In my opinion, the fanatics are in the minority.

    It's because no one really cares. Nothing on this forum is going to change anything in the real world.

    They probably rather support freedom of speech.

    The human condition will be manifest with or without Yahoo.
