right to remove q & a they don't like? I saw many great questions and wonderful answers, which got lost due to " improper behavior" issues and i don't mean swearing. Who is the administrator to judge what is politically correct and turn it down? Has the web turned into an opinion ghetto for brainwashing? Is this service for people with brains or just for mindless inactive cans?
 
Have you heard of the Community Guidelines and Terms of Service? These are the sets of rules that dictate what we can or can't say on here. To put in another way, any offending content that's posted on this site will be reported by other users and deleted on the spot. Whatever you mention in your question is totally irrelevant; it all boils down to what I've just explained to you. Censorship is out. The same goes for free speech because it doesn't exist here at all. It's dead, period.

Please remember that you gave up the right to free speech when first opening up a Y! account. What that means you must agree to adhere to the TOS and the community guidelines of all the services that you normally use (including this one). Remember this is Y!'s house, so you can either follow their rules or simply stop using this service. It's just that simple.

Here are the rules that you need to spend a great deal of time reading:

Well, as you said yourself, the internet is uncensored, but a specific site, in this case Yahoo! Answers is allowed to have guidelines, which can be read here

Sometimes though, it is annoying people called trolls who report answers/questions for no reason whatsoever, which effects everybody.
 
because this website is censored....its a private company, they can do whatever they want...don't like it? start your own answers website...
 
Because of the Patriot Act brother. They're doing the same darn thing to some of my questions/answers. The Patriot Act has replaced our nations constitution and the government has no idea what this is doing to our country. Basically, they're weakening an already weakened country. It's the MATRIX coming to real life bro, honestly. If you're asking the same question that I've been asking, what does that really mean? Good luck and don't give up. We are united! Until they all fall! The Jian.
