Shock: Porn Available For Sale On Yahoo

from the um,-who-cares dept

In what appears to be a reporter trying to make a story out of nothing, here's a report claiming that Yahoo is getting into the porn business. Of course, what they appear to be talking about is that Yahoo allows adult resellers to work via Yahoo! shops. This really isn't a big deal and isn't a situation where Yahoo! itself is actually selling pornography.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

      The day anything is a big deal because it got posted to Techdirt would be a pretty amazing day. Part of what we do at Techdirt is take reporters to task for screwing up. That's what we did here. It wasn't making the story a big deal, but the fact that the story is pointless.
