Yahoo! Asks That Chinese Rights Suit Be Dismissed
Eviliza writes that Yahoo! is asking that the suit filed against it over the infringement of a Chinese journalist's civil rights be dismissed in US courts this week. The company has stated that it had no choice but to give up the journalist's information, as it's Chinese subsidiary is subject to Chinese laws. "'Defendants cannot be expected, let alone ordered to violate another nation's laws,' the company said in its filing. But Morton Sklar of the World Organization for Human Rights said the company had failed to meet its ethical responsibilities. 'Even if it was lawful in China, that does not take away from Yahoo's obligation to follow not just Chinese law, but US law and international legal standards as well, when they do business abroad,' he said."
I have never heard an exclamation mark refered to as a bang before, where did that come from?
I know what you mean, the bang is silly and the person who came up with that idea should be taken out to a field and banged to death. The company's legal name *is* "Yahoo! Inc." however, so including the bang is technically correct, and omitting it is incorrect.
Right. No, your other right. No, the other other right.
Just because you're overseas doesn't exempt you from US law. Go use drugs or sleep with an underage person overseas and then come back and tell the FBI.
