Yahoo complicit in Chinese human rights violations

Yahoo Inc. gave information to the Chinese government that was later used to convict someone for passing on state secrets. What did the man, Shi Tao, pass on? A government censorship order it would seem. A ten year jail sentence was handed out. What if it had been a death sentence (China has executed people for stealing gas before)? Yahoo gives the "just following orders" defense. If Yahoo must comply with the Chinese government in this manner to do business in China, the price of doing business in China is too high. Until they become an open society, companies should not do business with them. I will never knowingly make use of Yahoo again.

Meanwhile, the world looks the other way. History repeats.
