Yahoo killing ads /js in images video with security=restrict

[bullseye]

It seems that yahoo is using a security=restricted tag in their frames with images (and videos)

In other words, if someone finds one of your images in a Yahoo Images search, your page will be stripped of all javascript and iframe ads when it is displayed. I believe the tag might also be preventing any type of meta refresh.

If you click on any nav links, you page will then open in a new window without the security restrictions.

IMHO Yahoo has opened a can of worms with this. It will now be possible for leaches everywhere to easily frame YOUR content while stripping ads and removing any control by the webmaster.

I've tried a couple of things with php and meta refresh tags but haven't beeen able to break out of the frame.

If you want to see it in action, go to Yahoo images and do a search for images on your site with a site:www.yoursite.com You will see your page pretty much stripped.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to get control of our sites back. Yes I know you can block Yahoo with a robots.txt. The problem though is I can see this spreading to other sites as well. I think it was askjeeves that was framing sites a while back and stripping out the webmaster's adsense and showing their own adsense ads. A javascript frame buster fixed that. However, with the current security tag, it looks like our sites are going to be butchered for a while.

You're not on the page. You're simply looking at it after it has been parsed. Simply use the "Close Yahoo! frame" link in the upper-right.

By the way, Google does the same thing.
