Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.
Is it within the terns of use to give an answer that violates the terms of service of another website?
On question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Arj2d... an answer proposes to use an anonymising service to edit Wikipedia. This is completely legal and within the legal rights of the asker, but against the terms and services of Wikipedia. Are such answers within the terms and conditions of Yahoo! Answers?
I would like to stress again that this is *only* violating the terms and services of Wikipedia. It is not, nor should it be, against the law. I know that it is now allowed to give answers that violate the law. This question pertains to anwers that don't break the law, but do encourage to violate terms and services of websites. I'm not sure how to make this any clearer.

Violating the law
