Yahoo Defends Itself On China Allegations

Vitaly Friedman writes "Yahoo defends its policies in China as doing more good than harm, even as multiple dissidents have been jailed based on Yahoo Mail evidence. From the article: 'Yahoo continues to defend itself against charges that its Chinese operations have been responsible for the jailing of multiple dissidents. Multiple reports have surfaced which tie Yahoo Mail to various Chinese court cases that have ended in imprisonment for writers with politically unpopular opinions.'"

    Obviously those were countries that did not report any data.

    American has been the worldwide leader of incarceration for a good 20 years or so. Russia surged past us for a couple of years once, I think. But we've been the world leader in that category since the drug war began.

    We are the least free nation in the world. Even the people out of prison are spied on. And good luck throwing a protest or a party. The cops WILL come.
