Jailed Chinese Reporter Joins Yahoo! Suit
taoman1 writes "The Associated Press reports that Shi Tao, who was sentenced in 2005 to 10 years in prison, is now seeking compensation from Yahoo. He claims the Hong Kong and Chinese branches of the company provided information to the Chinese authorities that led to his arrest. 'Shi, a former writer for the financial publication Contemporary Business News, was jailed for allegedly providing state secrets to foreigners. His conviction stemmed from an e-mail he sent containing his notes on a government circular that spelled out restrictions on the media. Yahoo has acknowledged turning over data on Shi at the request of the Chinese government, saying company employees face civil and criminal sanctions if they ignore local laws. It denies Yahoo Hong Kong was involved.'"

Enough said.
You know - if as much rhetoric and time and effort was spent addressing the problems with the Chinese govt as with Yahoo obeying their laws, there might not be a problem in the first place.
Nah - too fucking obvious. China's perfect. DEATH TO YAHOO!
