Yahoo Defends Itself On China Allegations

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-is-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder dept.

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.'"

    "These companies are trying to walk a fine line between offending the Chinese government, on the one hand, and offending the American government on the other."
    Yeah, who cares about the actual people being taken away as long as we don't offend any governments. Morals and ethics are just there to appease the media and government officials, right?
