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.

Do you believe that Yahoo answers asks questions that are used in social engineering?

    I don't know where they come from or who is paying them or if they are just independent but there is an awful lot of deliberate misinformation being spread on this site if that's what you mean. I don't know if Yahoo just tolerates it or is doing it themselves.

    One thing I'll add is that this site masquerades as free speech when it is actually tightly controlled. The blocking feature and anonymity feature helps trolls more than it prevents it. I can't tell if these are examples, out of many, of bad design or if it is intentional.

    COULD BE, BECAUSE I FOUND OUT AS I SEARCH GOOGLE WITH MY USER ID OVER HERE, I SAW MANY MY YAHOO ANSWERS WERE POSTED IN MANY DIFFERENT WEBSITES RATHER THAN JUST WITHIN " YAHOO ANSWER".
