Yahoo censorship?

Yahoo! isn't the government so doesn't have unlimited time and unlimited money to read everyone's questions and answers; they rely on customer reporting. If a question/answer is reported, it is deleted without human intervention. It is up to the asker/answerer to then protest the deletion. Protests are then reviewed by an underpayed teenager who decides whether or not it is a violation. If the reviewer is in a good mood, it is restored. If something is just accepted and not fought for, it must not be too important, eh?
