Does anyone really care that China used Yahoo's help to jail reporters for subversion?

Well they bend over to China, and edit the Chinese Yahoo! website to the government's liking. Who's to say they aren't doing the same for other countries? the U.S. even?

No, not unless they actually investigate the reports to see which ones are unfounded and which ones are legit. I've been reporting, I think one guy, who's been impersonating at least three or four people. How would Yahoo know anything about it unless someone tells them? With your way, even the person being impersonated would lose points for reporting it. Stuff like that shouldn't happen. If Yahoo investigated these reports, there wouldn't be a problem, so we wouldn't need a plan. The whole reason reporting gets out of hand is because the offenders know Yahoo isn't investigating reports, so they can get away with it.

Would it be better to have no internet in China?\n\nTHOSE ARE THE RULES.\n\nThe dissidents know it.  (We do it to pedophiles here.)\n\nSometimes, to bring about change, you have to compromise.\n\nMaybe now, it's not so funny when you shoot off your mouth and hide behind your "right to free speech".

you'd have to find the original article/story that they've censored and then check it out on the chinese internet to know that.  \n\nit's pretty creepy though - a bit like Winston working for Big Brother to change the past and people's perceptions.  eugh.

yahoo is required to obey the law same as any  other business as if they don't I am sure there are methods to deal with them from our gov, as well as other gov, since they have warned everyone of these laws it is the users responsibility  to use caution when using this site,  What would you do under the same circumstances

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 .

The compensation they receive is that they can actually get people to visit Yahoo! in China. Without that compliance, no one there could visit the Yahoo! site.

Yeah, it's just called 'Yahoo!'.  Since it started in the United States there's no need to specify this in the name.

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.

No the truth is that other countries have much tighter control over their media so it's not very likely that other countries are going to get the full story.

there are probably yahoo workers on it NOW.\n\nBut as long as they don't report and violate people at will I guess it's ok.
