Yahoo! Racism!

Prompted by an article written by Derek Powazek at Design For Community, I wrote the following email to Yahoo!’s customer care department:

"How on earth can Yahoo possibly reconcile its Terms Of Service:

‘You agree to not use the Service to: a. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;’

…with this:

‘Skinheads and white surpremacists in the Northshore area for white power, white unity, white heritage, white pride. Fighting for the survival of our race, shaking the jewish parasite from our country, and lives is our goal! HAIL WHITE VICTORY!’ ?

To have an entire Group *directory* devoted to ‘White_Pride_and_Racialism’ is appalling. This is hardly slipping under the radar now, is it?"
