Reporters Without Borders have confirmed that Yahoo has turned over electronic records of emails and draft emails from Chinese individuals' accounts to the Chinese government, which subsequently jailed these pro-democracy dissidents.

Three reasons - money, money and money.\nYahoo! knows that by helping the government, they will continue to permit Yahoo! to tap into the potential market in China.

not that i know of - give me details on what your talking about.\n\n\nthanks for the details but by what i read he is a criminal who ought to be in jail \n"Jiang Lijun, 39, was sentenced for subversive activities on Nov. 18, 2003. He was accused of being the leader of a group of political dissidents and of seeking to use violence to impose democracy, including a plan to disrupt a Communist Party Congress by phoning in a false bomb scare to police,"

maybe hotmail is filtered by the firewall of china..

No.  They are the opposite.  They dont want any foreing influences.  I think they are xenophobes in reality.  Most people in Yahoo are xenophobes in sheep's clothing.

The Chinese government is one of the most effective governments in today's world, and certainly superior to that farce in America.\nThe Olympic games is an absolutely major event affecting everything, like greater emphasis on teaching English, teaching less-educated Chinese how to be polite, improving buildings and roads in and around Beijing, and generally working hard to provide traditional Chinese hospitality to all visitors.\nThere will be no limitations on photography, and I guess that the web blockage will be cleared. There are ways round it anyway.

I saw something similar a looong time ago, but it was just an email. It looked like it was from the FBI and told them they were in trouble for going to certain sites. I don't know where to find it though.

That's obviously a load of old rubbish, however I know there is a scientific basis and evidence of some big loser who stole someone's identity and asked dumb questions about 'do you like philipino girls', then get all smug and righteous about the Yahoo rules when that person gets suspended. Remind you of anyone? *sniff sniff* \n\nI can STILL smell hypocrisy and it's very close!

Can't answer that, have tried to access this site but it is filtered by my works firewall!\nHas far-right implications though.

Very interesting, but you should look at Meles Zenawi's human's right records in Ethiopia, terrible.  It's best to join Amnesty International.

Yahoo is will lose money if they stop doing business in china. They have stated that giving people some information is better than no information at all, but I think it is probably all about the $$.

China is a totalitarian Communist State; and they rule with an iron fist.  They execute 8,000 political prisoners a year in China...think about that for a second...8,000 people a year kille for their political beliefs that differ from the government.  \n\nI'm happy to be an American, and hope we can keep it that way forever.

Who knows.  But it's a really funny thought!\n\nI'm sure they mess up sometimes with chinese writing so that would probably happen for them too.  Instead of getting 'will power' tatooed on them, it accidently turns out as 'white power'.

Actions explain philosophy. Yahoo selectively chooses news stories and gives them leftist slanted headlines. They are more than happy to work with every despot in the world and use their product to advance that governments perverse agenda. That in and of itself  shows their dirty red liberal agenda.

Sorry, but I don't know why.  Yahoo takes off anything that anyone reports, and someone may have reported you for whatever was in your edited reply.  Some people at this site are report abuse happy, and appear to be offended by the slightest little things.  It's too bad that we don't have freedom of speech (rather of writing) what we believe.
