 Yahoo! to ban Nazi memorabilia from website
YAHOO!, the world’s leading web portal, will ban the sale of Nazi memorabilia from its Internet auction pages.
A Yahoo! spokeswoman said the move was not in response to a French court’s order to ban the sale of such material, including SS daggers and replicas of Zyklon B canisters.
“We did this as a matter of policy,” the spokeswoman said.
The ban takes effect on January 10.
In November, a French judge held that Yahoo! must bar French users from being able to buy and sell such items on its Internet sites.
Yahoo! has asked a US court to overturn the French court’s order on grounds that France has no jurisdiction over the Santa Clara, California company.
