Yahoo fiddles with your search results by LZZR

Contrary to what is being constantly declared by all major Search Engine representatives they do manually alter what you see as search results. Now a hard proof emerges. What you see on this screenshot is an internal Yahoo interface urging Yahoo employees to "report bad results or ads".

Remakkably as it becomes clear from this discussion Yahoo! people guilty of this stupid leak are not even denying the authenticity of this screenshot. Their line of defence is to pretend that nothing important had happened and it's "just internal quality assurance". Needless to remark that such practices in a multi-billion dollar SEM market is just an invitation to a large scale internal corruption.

It's not perhaps a conicidence that with this kind of corporate culture cases of Yahoo Censorship are mounting and this plagued even those essentially nice services like MyBlogLog that had been resently acuired by Yahoo. Check this funy story for details.
