So China wants to buy Yahoo your thoughts?

China is a truly a Communist country that controls its media, does not have free speech and jails journalists and activists for speaking out against the government. Should a country like this be allowed to wrap itself around an America media company? Will they start censoring yahoo? If ALibaba is allowed to buy Yahoo would I even be able to post this question here? The internet is the new battlefront of the 21st century do we really want to have an enemy invested in our media?

    Considering the fiscal mess the country is in, that comes as no surprise.

    The internet is a paragon of free speech. It's supposed to allow anyone who can access it unlimited freedom of speech and belief, and it is downright evil for a government to censor it. The internet will because vital to the survival of the developed world in the next few years - and imagine if it suddenly vanished now, right at this moment. It has given people the ability to share information, educate themselves, and share the truth with people from the other side of the world.

    NOBODY should be allowed to control what you can say on it. Not China, not America, NOBODY.

    properly.. i do no longer trust something you suggested extremely. What, you think of human beings used to purchase tickets to work out what platinum chain an injured participant grow to be wearing on the sideline? according to danger i'm incorrect on that section, according to danger you meant something else? i think of the NBA has completed an spectacular interest merchandising the sport. Watch ESPN classified ads for 2 minutes and you will see many classified ads on upcoming basketball video games, which contain the "NBA Cares" for the community, and classified ads from LeBron James, and those new addidas classified ads with McGrady, Duncan, Dwight, Iggy, and a pair different gamers. Stern advertises over in Europe for jersey revenues, video games, NBA channels, and in spite of else.. i do no longer understand. And plus, they plan on springing up some NBA communities over in Europe. And approximately your remark "stern desires to attraction to those detached businessmen who could no longer care much less approximately what takes place on the court extremely of the real, hardcore followers who like hip hop." Are you asserting the only hardcore basketball followers are people who're youthful, hip hop thugs? And for individuality, gamers in recent times are wearing greater tattoos and assorted array of bands and sleeves on their our bodies than ever in the previous. i assume i are not getting what you recommend a pair of lot of this, and that i easily do no longer possibly agree neither whether i will say solid capture on the lowering attendance and bringing it up for comments. solid subject count for Yahoo solutions

    You can bet Yahoo Q and A will no longer be available. I really hope that deal is rejected for many reasons.

    how do you figure america, europe, canada, truly capitalist countries dont control its media? in fact, i am 100% sure that the west controls its media. if you think that the west has free speech then youre delusional. not only does the usa, europe, and canada jail journalists, they also blow them up. take a look at some of the journalists who have been blown up by u.s and nato forces in Iraq, Libya, and Afganistan, just because the journalists reported something that the u.s, and nato governments didnt like. should the cia, and nsa be able to wrap itself around an american company? is yahoo already censored? the internet is the new battlefront. the internet was invented by the u.s military to be a battlefront, to spread propaganda and disinformation about its perceived enemies. i dont think yahoo can get any worse than it already is

    I guess money talks. It's not like Yahoo is a bastion of freedom of speech, anyway.
