Default No longer able to rate comments on yahoo news

That and no longer able to reply to any comment on yahoo news and not able to stream video links from yahoo news.

Those news bring me to Hong Kong based server while yahoo homepage is still US based.

I consider this unacceptable censorship.

The irony is when I write to yahoo customer service, they are based in Singapore, a country which controls all media and censors them and stifle dissents.

I still receive thumbs up feedback through mail so I know some people able to rate the comments.

**** this. I opened www.theaustralian.com.au

and received the following message

Note: xxx has determined that this webserver is in Indonesia, however the address ends in .au(Australia). Servers need not located in origin country and this is likely not an error.




My guess? My government is employing China like Internet filter. Maybe Hmm I hope not.

Ah look the stupid replied. Oh Hi stupid. How's your regression lately? Much?

Go troll somewhere else if you can't contribute anything.

OK, if I write about evil government, cencorship and say poor you on the top of that, will you be my friend?

For what it's worth, I have no such technical problems.

Just find a corner and stay put. Grow beard or moss. If it is hard to grow moss in Finland you need to try harder. You are not worth my time. . . at all. So don't bother next time.

no rated comments = less trolling
can't be that bad

you know, I'm capitalizing off this
i have started my own web hosting company:
http://curiosityhosting.info/

we have servers located in Sweden, the Netherlands, and even Albania
the majority of our customers come from heavily censured places, where they are tired of the government seizing their servers
