Yahoo Geocities Complaint - Pornography and Abuse Reporting - E-mail

E-mail - Complaint
Review by Anonymous on 2003-08-27
DALLAS, TEXAS -- Someone using a Yahoo.com e-mail address is sending out unsolicited obscene material (complete) with graphics to a minor. This, I believe is a violation of Yahoo's Terms of service, relevant sections below:

"You agree to not use the Service to:

(a) upload, post or otherwise transmit
any Content that is unlawful, harmful,
threatening, abusive, harassing,
tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene,
libelous, invasive of another's
privacy, hateful, or racially,
ethnically or otherwise objectionable;

(b) harm minors in any way;"

Multiple complaints to Yahoo's abuse department generate the same canned reply, which does you no good if you are not a Yahoo user, which I am not.

Obviously, Yahoo, like most other ISP's are not interested in enforcing their own Terms of Service, unless it suits them.
