    Yahoo! has lost its way since May 25, 2020. On to other sites where our Conservative voices will be heard. I predicted last year this forum was going to be removed. Too much catering to Democrats.

    The site has been destroyed by trolls like the remoaner scum.

  • Free speech isn't actually free. It costs money to run a website, maintain the servers etc.

    And this site isn't making money

    They've lost so many members with all the rule changes they've made. Now they can't control the remaining members.

    Yes, shutting down freedom of speech/ free exchange of opinions/ discussion on the internet has been going on gradually now since 2001.

    Yahoo 'Answers'...10 times more than a 'Answer Site'...is a 1st-5th generation shared middle class 'community' of opinion/ info/ knowledge/ health help/ a 'safe' place for the mentally ill/ shut ins to experience 'world'. 

    It's by it's nature professionally  midline neutral moderated (no cuss words/ nothing obscene/ no threats). Trolls and political shills targeted it and were allowed but are ignored.

    It is all about shutting down the middle class whose brains are connected to mouths and typing fingers, to stop any free Net.

    Yahoo shutting down Answers does not affect your freedom of speech.

    No one is obliged to offer you a platform to express your views.
