Can someone be charged or punished for posting on Yahoo! Answers?

[Kick Me, Have Fun]

Like there are violations when people comment or post on celebrities, politicians or sports people they don't like. This happens mainly on Facebook, Twitter etc. It doesn't happen too often but it's like it happens.
Does it also happen on this site?

CAN it happen? Yes. HAS it happened? Not that we have heard of. But Yahoo will make our personal information available to the law if required to do so. Which means we could be prosecuted for posting here. They even state that in situations where child endangerment is involved, they will report to NCMEC, for example.
