Allegations Yahoo Collaborated With Chinese Government to Jail Journalist
Reporters Without Borders issued a statement alleging that Yahoo supplied the Chinese government with information that helped jail a Chinese business journalist.  The China operations of Yahoo, Microsoft, google and other foreign technology and Internet companies have come under frequent criticism due to their willingness to censor content and overlook other rights abuses in an effort to gain favor with the Chinese government in hopes of gaining a share of the Chinese market..

From the Reporters Without Borders statement:

Quote: “Information supplied by Yahoo ! led to the conviction of a good journalist who has paid dearly for trying to get the news out. It is one thing to turn a blind eye to the Chinese government’s abuses and it is quite another thing to collaborate.”...

...A US-based multinational, Yahoo ! Appears to be willing to go to any lengths to gain shares of the Chinese market

the entire statement: http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=14884

...and an article from  BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4221538.stm
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011

Censor content? Icon_scratch NO WAY. Hey that sounds like ebay and LieWorld US.
No wonder Meg wants in China so bad. She's a bloody communist.
 
I can see China kicking all those companies out soon after they are all set up and established.
You know right before they... or during the... take back of Tiwain.

Coming soon to an Asian region near. Well China. Smileyfencing

Jailed Chinese journalist's family considers filing lawsuit against Yahoo
A new development in this case:

Quote: Internet firm Yahoo may face legal action for allegedly providing information which allowed a Chinese journalist to be jailed for 10 years for leaking state secrets, his family said.

Zhang Yu, representing the family of Shi Tao, said they were considering taking Yahoo Hong Kong Holdings to court either here or in the United States.

'We believe what (Yahoo) did was illegal so we are considering taking Yahoo to court,' Zhang told reporters, adding that Yahoo had refused to discuss the matter with him...

Yahoo Collaborates With Chinese Government Again to send 4th Journalist to Jail
Allegations Yahoo sent a 4th Chinese journalist to jail. The journalist was jailed for writing pro-democracy articles.

Quote:Still no reaction from Yahoo! after fourth case of collaboration with chinese police uncovered

Reporters Without Borders called on Yahoo! to withdraw its Internet servers from China as a fourth case was revealed of the company’s collaboration with Chinese police that led to the jailing of a cyberdissident.

Human Rights in China (HRIC) has said that the verdict in the case of Wang Xiaoning, 55, sentenced to ten years in prison in September 2003 for posting “subversive” articles online, referred to collaboration by the US Internet company.

"Chinese journalists and dissidents used to trust Yahoo! more than local companies, to protect the confidentiality of their electronic communications,” Reporters Without Borders said.

“This company has betrayed them by shamefully collaborating with the police. It has said today that it is ‘upset’ by the situation, but the time for lamentation is past. We expect Yahoo! executives, particularly Jerry Yang, to announce that they will withdraw their email servers from China.”
