Why to I have to sign into facebook to make a comment on a Yahoo news subject? kind of dumb?

Q. I try to comment on a yahoo news item in the box when I highlight yahoo a window pops up asking me to sign into facebook. Kind of dumb isn't it?

A. Yes, it is very dumb. The only choice seems to be "agree", and to set up a Facebook account with your Yahoo login, which I want nothing to do with. Yahoo "customer service" seems to be no help.

I wrote:
I keep having trouble when I want to respond to a Yahoo news article. Yahoo keeps wanting me to agree to sign in to Facebook in order to let me post. I do not want a facebook account, nor do I want to participate in Facebook. The only choice seems to be "agree". How do I make sure that there are no links to Facebook from my Yahoo account?

And they responded:
I understand you have been experiencing difficulties while accessing News article. I realize the inconvenience you may have experienced due to this.

Yahoo! does not provide email technical support for [News]. There are two places to get help with your technical issues. The first is our help pages--we have troubleshooting steps, how-to's, and general information there:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/helpcentral/

Note: All services can be found by clicking "All Yahoo! Services" below the large icons on the Yahoo! Help Central home page.

If you can't find your answer there, millions of people each day are able to get their answers directly from the Yahoo! user community on Yahoo! Answers.

That link is:

http://answers.yahoo.com

Of course, I had already tried help central before asking the customer service question, which they evidently completely misunderstood. Then on the second link, I find another person complaining about the same problem I am having. If this is the future of Yahoo, they will be out of business soon.

How come this message keeps coming up when I try to sign into Facebook ?
Q. There's this message that comes up when I try to sign into Facebook on my iPhone but I'm not supposed to have one so I can't do it on a computer it says: account temperally unavailable please sign into a computer and follow these in structoins so please help

A. Hi,

- Facebook Account Temporarily Unavailable
Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.

- Facebook Account Temporarily Unavailable
Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.

- Sorry, this profile is not available at the moment. Please try again shortly.

If your Facebook account is not available and you are seeing any of the above messages when you open Facebook, than there is nothing to worry.

As the messages say, your Facebook account is temporarily unavailable because either Facebook is doing some site maintenance, or it is facing bandwidth issues. In any case, your Facebook profile should be up and running within an hour or less.

If you canât access your Facebook profile even after an hour, then ask around to your local friends if they can open their Facebook accounts. If they canât then probably its a bigger site maintenance task, so try again after some time.

However, if all your local friends can open their Facebook profile and only you are seeing the Facebook Account Temporarily Unavailable message, then try clearing your browserâs cache and cookies to fix the issue.

If your Facebook profile is still unavailable after many days, then send an email to info@facebook.com, appeals@facebook.com or disabled@facebook.com and explain them the issue. Once you send them an email, your account will be available again soon.

Thanks & Regards,
