I wonder if Yahoo plans to censor our blogs? On one of my accounts they sent a TOS they did not say what the TOS was for but I would suspect adult links on the blog roll.. Anyone know if they are going to censor what we write,what we link to etc?

Yup.. They deleted my blog because of the adult links..

Looks like the 360 blogs will discuss about politics and weather.

LOL Well I guess I can use it for my non adult graphics groups etc. I think AOL also censors their blogs..I don't know of any other service that does though. You would think yahoo of all people would not censor since they have x-rated egroups and their search engines are full of porn, and porn advertisement. I suggested to them that they just put a warning page up to blogs that are of the adult nature like they do their e-groups. Who knows though if they will listen. Otherwise they are looking at a huge head ache trying to keep up with who is breaking TOS.

Exactly.

I am adding some information on this to my Yahoo 360 Tip Sheet based on feedback I have got so far.
