Yahoo is turning in pro-democracy folk to the Chinese. Think they'd turn in Anne Frank to the nazis too?

only if the Nazis would help them make lots of money in their country.\n\nLots of the tech companies are helping out the oppressive Chinese Government and it is wrong.

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 $$.

i would rather you report my answer as abuse and have them read it.\n\ni do not support the corprate policy of blocking information at any level for any person over the age of 18 so with that said yahoo please let china see everything i do and be pop up advertized to death and the same goes for google you evil corprate types willing to sell your soul to make a buck .

I feel irritated. I find it that today people prefer to be followers than leaders and it is embarrassing to see how such big conglomerates lose all perception of decency just to make money. It is obvious that Yahoo wishes to conquer the China market and for that purpose merged with the Chinese company called Alibaba.com. In that sense, they could not care less about the Chinese people since they are only concerned about being on the right side of the Chinese government. It is ALWAYS about money…. Just look at how Bush calls everyone a terrorist and yet he is ready give the United Arab Emirates control of numerous AMERICAN ports. \nIt is NEVER about the people or democracy or even safety…. it’s about who will receive a monetary benefit from it all.

Not only that, Yahoo also helped the Chinese government to crack down on opposition bloggers, and actively helps China to censor the web. (searchs on words like "democracy", "human rights" and "tianmenn square massacre" are filtered and/or simply not allowed).\n\nIt shows you how these corporations don't really care about democracy, freedom of speech, or any kind of ethics but just about their private profits and interests.\nThe saddest part is that most "common people" just don't care to learn about or exercise their rights. Most people don't even know or care about things like the CIA COINTELPRO program, the Echelon System (a global communication-monitoring system that both Australia, the US and the European Union have admitted as real), the Northwoods operation, etc, etc.\nAs always, people realize that they are being screwed up and decide to react only when it's too late.

I heard about this! This is the info I got. Yahoo (among other companies) are providing information about user website patterns and e-mail accounts in exchange for the Chinese government allowing them to operate there. From what I understand, other e-mail server, such as hotmail were given the same opportunity and declined.

Never heard of such a thing. Are you sure? Where is information on it. That's like Jewish nazis, or a Native American republican.

Yahoo is the neo-con mafia

China is a sovereign nation..they can have any laws they like..and Yahoo has to follow them...\n\nIt is not like Yahoo is trying to clamp down on revolution....\n\nThe problem is the Chinese government..NOT any individual company....

Brute freaking force! Knock Jack back to the time when the Germans were still invading Rome. Take the computer and throw it out the window....the highest window....let it explode into a billion pieces then take a jack-hammer to those pieces. then scream I HEREBY RECLAIM THIS YAHOO PROFILE PROPERTY OF STRONGBADIA! Presto, the yahoo profile is yours again, because if anybody contests your right to it after that, they have balls of steel.

And you are so much better than they are by stating these things in this crude manner in an open forum?\n\nDo you have the proof to back these allegations up with or is this just your opinion on how things are in China?

From the BBC news site:\n\nMedia watchdog Reporters Without Borders has accused Yahoo of providing China with information that helped to identify and convict two internet writers. \n\nLi Zhi was jailed for eight years in 2003, after posting comments that criticised official corruption. Writer Shi Tao was sentenced to 10 years in prison in April  2005 after criticising human rights abuses.

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'.

no Mr. ruckus..yahoo hasnt forgotten the bloody battle-scarred event in history..its still lingers in their minds now and then-IMO

Because the Chinese govt. has opened its country to foreign capitalist business, and if Yahoo wants to do business in China they must play by the rules that the Chinese govt has set even if it means the good guys get caught. But money is money and that is the bottom line.

I just got a email from a friend regarding Australia. They are having some immigrant Muslim problems. The radicals are getting out of hand. The government and citizen are dealing with it. One signs said" if you don't like our language, culture and laws get the hell out". \nA few years back they had a real Chinese illegal problem ships dumping of them. They dealt with it rather fast.They cut out chain immigration better now as family unification.\n\nThat is as much as I know on this new immigration anti terrorist issue, but I think that is about as much information that one will get. Most will probably be opinion depending on their side. I have no agenda.
