    From the link:

    "The rapid growth of the Internet has brought opportunities but also risks, and the Federal Government is committed to empowering members of the public to protect themselves against the full range of online threats, including online radicalization to violence.

    "Companies already have developed voluntary measures to promote Internet safety ─ such as fraud warnings, identity protection, and Internet safety tips ─ and we will collaborate with industry to explore how we might counter online violent extremism without interfering with lawful Internet use or the privacy and civil liberties of individual users. This approach is consistent with Internet safety principles that have helped keep communities safe from a range of online threats, such as cyber bullies, scammers, gangs, and sexual predators."

    So which of these do YOU consider constitutionally protected speech?

    Cyber bullying, scams, or sexual predatory behavior?

    This is a war of words and the thoughts behind the words

    Yahoo is a business that has rules and filters , they will allow one person with multiple accounts to report your question or answer and have it removed

    They will also remove almost anything that reveals or accuses them of censorship

    They are not balanced between liberal and conservative when it comes race or sexual preference , they are more like 99% liberal progressive .

    You can however rag on the government all you want if you stay away from saying anything that should not be said to a 13 year old kid.

    Many revelations of government corruption are shared with the y a community from sources that otherwise would never be read

    So keep hammering away at whatever you think people need to know

    It's says that al Qaida have their own face book page and that they like to watxh music videos on their iPads from the comfort of their caves. And they also like online games such as Tetris and solitaire and that this is their recruiting ground. That their goal is to funnel these recruits to click "like" on their Facebook. And this is how they plan to take over the world.
