Pot, meet Mr. Kettle. Now Yahoo knows what it’s like being a conservative trying to use their services. Unfortunately, we can’t just walk away. Their (Big Tech) oppression and censorship is all pervasive.

Yahoo is irrelevant. In China or anywhere else.
With all their mighty internet companies, I doubt if anyone in China is bothered by Yahoo “pulling out”.

"a free and open internet."

As long as you don't upload something mean, offensive, or anything that in any way disagrees with our extreme left-wing agenda.

The EU’s meme ban and link tax legislation were a preview of coming attractions.

We can’t say we weren’t warned.

I’ve already seen massive changes to the internet. It used to be a free forum for free citizens. You take the good with the bad, but how bad can it be? It’s only information. But eventually the only thing that won’t be censored is pure government propaganda and entertainment meant to keep you stupid.

The free and open Yahoo! has suspended article commenting, BUT their goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. Some contradictions in these statements somewhere.
