Yahoo Changes Privacy Policy

[IronBits]

Yahoo! changed its privacy policy last week, contemptuously exposing all of its registered users to third-party spam, marketing offers and cold calls that they'd previously said they didn't want.

Here is the link to delete your account on Yahoo
https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.slogin=&.intl=us&.src=&.bypass=&.partner=&.done=https%3a//edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user

ok,
but deleting my account now isn't going to stop the spam, right?

Thanks for the heads-up, IB! Whatta buncha jerks! :mad:

Heck . . .you think that is bad IB? I use Yahoo messenger so I can Cam Chat with my daughter and grandkids up in Northern California.

After Yahoo changed their privacy policy now all sorts of creeps pop into my messenger saying that they saw that I was online! This is even after I set my privacy to only members on my list, which are my three daughters.

I cannot cancel my account because then I would not be able to use the Yahoo messenger anymore. And I will not use Net Meeting or Cu SeeMe both which are ridden with women giving crotch shots or guys beating their you-know-whats!

Yahoo is for the dogs now (and not TDOW, lol).

FoBot . . .if you delete your account your email with them will also be deleted. Thus no @yahoo.com spam.
