    Of course it is.!!

    Why on earth would people 'think' this site is immune from surveillance considering all other sites are monitored by....'them' which has been recently media exposed.!!

    Outspoken people on this site (without doubt) are on someones list somewhere.

    Where the public get the idea that....'free speech' is is not regulated is beyond me - anyone 'crossing the line' of UK dictatorial political/establishment policies....will feel the 'full wrath' of P/E punishment....recent changes in the law (UK) guarantee 'we' are all responsible for what 'we' post regarding Q/A + anything else we say - the UK being 'swamped' by unreasonable PC laws that 'stifle free speech and public opinions'.!!

    Big brother is all around us....24/7/365. George Orwell's futurist predictions were absolutely correct - all 'his predictions' have been implemented by our government (UK) + every other countries government in the western world. !!

    Who is they exactly? Security forces, police, Government. There are far too many people on here to monitor all of them all of the time. If anyone posts things Yahoo doesn't like they get a violation or suspended.

  • Anyone and everyone can look and keep an eye on this site, its a public questions and answers forum.
