Yahoo Settles With Imprisoned Chinese Journalists

Terms of the deal are secret, but Yahoo has reached settlements with two Chinese journalists who were arrested based on information the company provided to the ruling Communist government. "[...] a source at Yahoo said the company has been 'working with the families, and we're working with them to provide them with financial, humanitarian and legal assistance.' Yahoo has also agreed to establish a global human rights fund to provide 'humanitarian relief' to support dissidents and their families. The source said that details still have to be worked out."

I doubt it. I'm sure, if you're a Chinese journalist or dissident using Yahoo China for communications and the authorities figure you're saying critical things about them or reporting the truth of their regime, Yahoo will happily sell you out, but now with the added dimension that they'll buy off your relatives.
