This has to be some sort of money laundering deal. With all the RATs now firmly in league with human traffickers expect more stupid seeming purchases.
Good one!
Still using up your free coasters from AOL?

“weird...yesterday I got a notice from verizon about yahoo (or yahoo about verizon) explaining their privacy policy - which absolutely sux rocks. I turned everything off.”
My wife and I have siblings, who in the last year went to Yahoo as their primary internet.
We have tried to warn them.
Is there a way to get a copy of their privacy policy?
Thanks
Yes I remember that one, along with Alta Vista and web crawler
Yahoo survives because between it and Goggle it was the lesser of two evils. Though they’ve been closing that gap, most notably when they turned their comments off before the election.
The Comments were the best part, there’s no reason to read the articles as they are full of useless propaganda.
Nor I - had to starting buying paper targets. :-)
LOL! They weren't even good coasters - not at all absorbent, and would scratch the wood.
And I barely recall that Rush Limbaugh used Lexis Nexis way back in the 90’s.
I went searching for more info on that. Didn’t find what I was looking for.
It took an hour to download the contract, using a 2400 baud modem.
AOL has a lot of servers and many folks still use a verizon.net address that AOL manages when Verizon stopped hosting it’s own e-mail services; many verizon folks had their emails switched to AOL servers and these folks were allowed to keep their verizon.net addresses. I wonder if a lot of email users are going to lose theirverizon.net email addresses if AOL shuts down or wants a pay service model for each address.
I still have an AOL email address and have no plan to change.
Nobody is looking at AOL users as worth hacking!
A bunch of stupid people running Yahoo over the years...!
How did Yahoo! fall from $125 billion to $5 billion in 15 years?

Yahoo! had the opportunity to buy Google for a paltry $1 million in 1998.
The opportunity came back in 2002 but Google’s $5 billion price was too high for Yahoo!.
Reports suggest that in 2006, the company came very close to buying Facebook for $1 billion. The deal didn’t go through.
Ouch.
I hope that every writer loses their job at Yahoo.
Miserable people who condemn America and conservatives all the time plus they cannot even get any video to play most of the time. Get rid of any kardashian stories too!!
The new owners need to bring back the comment section.
I remember using scroogle until google killed it off.
You don’t even know what a write off is. But they do and they are the ones writing it off.
“Someone paid $5B for AOL ....Wow”
“It took an hour to download the contract, using a 2400 baud modem.”
With someone sitting at the computer to click the 5 minute pop ups or they would be disconnected and have to start over.
There is still a market for plastic drink coasters and insecure email services?
