What is a Yahoo privacy violation? I've NEVER gotten one until now. Anon question with a stright forward answer. No personal info.?

Update:

Thank you. 

They all seem plausible, because.........well I've been blocked by a few users. But I wasn't allowed to answer. As for a follow up to them, it's not worth my time.

    Years ago it meant the user blocked you. Haven't seen it in a very long time till the other day.

    Just means the user who is Anon has you blocked, so you may see a 'privacy violation' error message when you try to reply to their question. No biggie. It doesn't mean you did anything wrong (it's just poor wording by the site coders).

    I am getting that constantly, because I want to present my more balanced view in an honest discussion but there is one or several people who only want to make Leftist statements on this platform - they do not want to engage in intelligent debate.
