Yahoo *is* somewhat inconsistent about how it enforces its TOS. I found several groups, for example, that incite violence against Osama bin Laden. E.g, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KillOsama and my favorite http://groups.yahoo.com/group/picklebinladen etc, Brian

FBI Raid Silences Teen Anarchist's Site
FBI Raid Silences Teen Anarchist's Site http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/174092.html SHERMAN OAKS, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 31 Jan 2002, 12:15 AM CST In a case that may test limits on Internet free speech in the wake of Sept. 11, armed federal agents last week raided the home of a Los Angeles teenager suspected of hacking into several Web sites to post anarchist messages and using his own site, Raisethefist.com, to publish bomb-making information. Sherman Martin Austin, 18, is believed to have violated federal computer fraud and abuse laws, as well as statutes prohibiting the distribution of bomb-making information, according to an FBI affidavit. FBI agents conducted the raid on the afternoon of Jan. 24 at the Sherman Oaks residence owned by Austin's mother after receiving a federal warrant. The agents seized several computers and documents, according to an FBI spokesperson. In an interview Wednesday, Austin told Newsbytes he was interrogated for more than six hours but has not yet been charged with any crimes. [snip]
