Okay. I'm concerned. I just noticed that some (formerly known as) egroups have been taken down! They had adult content, okay, *weird* adult content, but still they were marked as such. And now they are gone. Smells a LOT like censorship to me. I took a second the review the TOS of our new TPTB, Yahoo, and what do you know, they prohibit "pornographic material", just like they prohibit material that infringes copyright. I don't know about you, but this sounds a lot like a possible endangering of our slash mailing lists to me, don't you think?? :-(((

Ah, sounds like it's time for the slash MLs to move to Topica. They DO allow 'adult only' list and they ARE a decent service.

Well, so FAR they didn't go after the slash in particular yet, but this might as well happen soon... I'm not going to do anything yet, but I'll make backups of the members lists on a regular basis now.

Which groups have been taken down?

Some adult group where they shared SM scene reports which some people used to refer to, but which certainly wasn't, rape. Don't get my wrong, I'm not terribly upset about this particular group (LOL), I just noticed it in the passing and upon going deeper into the case I saw that ALL groups with that subject had disappeared. I saw this is a worrisome sign...

thats not good. i suppose i should check to see if wufeinomiko is still up, 'cause i love that list. i remember when excite groups were amde to be not pornographic material anymore.. it became a lot harder to find decent yaoi-ish pics.. even if they were just the sweet stuff and not porn. this *does* worry me.

ne, what does yahoo say about censorship? not *porn*.. but things that come close? copyright crap too? blah. i guess i also need to check is GWukes is still up, too.. i really do hate yahoo. first geocities, now this? im wondering what's next. *frowns and hops off to e-gr-- yahoo!groups... still mumbling cruel things about the name cange*
