I, and some other friends, have noticed that certain posts either do not get posted, or get deleted.
For example, I posted a link on Yahoo Answers, where a banner was comparing Bush and Hitler. Yahoo emailed me, and told me it was deleted, because it wasn't answering a question, or something to that effect.
I've seen tons of answers there, and here on Mylot, that are just a few words, yet they don't get pulled. Anyone else, who posts on political issues, have this?

If you're trying to say the internet is censoring political posts like fascism we have a few things to go over here:
1-Yahoo has nothing to do with the US government. Its actions and property and rules are their own, they are a private company and are in no way governed by anything but the laws of American business. the Government doesn't decide Yahoos rules. Same thing goes for all internet companies. IE, it wouldnt be a sign of fascism in the US anyways.
2-If you think the internet is censoring and unfriendly towards liberal, particularly anti-Bush criticism, you aren't paying attention. It is ridiculous the amount of anti-Bush stuff on the internet. Anti-government, anti-everything. The nut jobs come out of the woodwork on the internet since it is such a free place and there are some ridiculously absurd lies and misconceptions about everyone, and particularly hateful garbage about Bush in particular.
So no, I do not believe it is, in any way.
