Yahoo a Facist Organization

[n***@yahoo_sucks.com]

For those of you contemplating or already using yahoo chat and other services
a word to the wise.

Yahoo does everything it can to block privacy proxies and gives users phoney
error messages to confuse them as to why they cannot logon, etc.

They lock out users from their chat IDs after making them go through all kinds
of contortions to make the id in the first place. Because they want to control
you, they want to track you and they want to know who you are.

They do this by forcing you to go to ssl in order to establish accounts, or
to logon.

I have also caught there admins assuming chat IDs to find out what I was doing
in chat.

The more I deal with this company the more I think they are evil and a bad
portense how what is to become on the internet.

It is unfortunate that so many new users use their services, cuz that is the
ONLY attraction they have. Just like MS they do not offer quality only good
marketing.

My advice is to stay away from yahoo as much as possible. Advice that I will
be taking myself in the near future.

then my advice would be to use a combination of tor

http://freehaven.net/tor

and privoxy

http://www.privoxy.org/

properly set up and used, you will remain anonymous even when yahoo drops
you to an ssl connect, cause tor handles both thru socks4a by way of
privoxy which further protects privacy.

set browser http and https to use 127.0.0.1:8118 for proxy,

include the line
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
in privoxy's 'config.txt' (be SURE to include the period at the end!!)

this way both http and https get routed through the tor network and
scrubbed by privoxy

this combination positively cannot be beaten!

as of this writing, 0.0.8rc1 is the latest windows executable,
0.0.8rc2 is latest *nix version
and 0.0.7.3 is the latest 'stable' version.

i'm running 0.0.8rc1 myself with full satisfaction.

note, tor is experimental and under development.
even the authors do not recommend using if you need strong anonymity.

Gee, I wonder why. Could it be that phishers, thieves and other useless
scumnuts use Yahoo (and Hotmail) to conduct their fraudulent business?
