Two Chinese citizens have now been imprisoned long-term as a direct result of Yahoo handing over confidential information to the Chinese government. These are probably only two of many. If you're thinking of purchasing any Yahoo products in the future please don't and inform their customer services why.

If you have a bit of time to kill, send your thoughts to Yahoo's 'report abuse' services. This is for abuse conducted on Yahoo's domain, and Yahoo just collaborated in the severe mistreatment of two people. Let them know all about the abuse happening on their domain at:

Seriously, everybody who whines 'oh why do people only bash the US? What about all the wrongs being committed in other parts of the world?' get up off your ass and do some very necessary China-bashing over at Yahoo.

China Defends Right to Police Internet
BEIJING - China on Thursday defended its right to police the Internet, one day after four American technology giants appeared before Congress on charges they collaborated with Beijing to crush free speech online in return for market access.

"It is normal for countries to manage the Internet in accordance with law and to guide its development in a healthy and orderly fashion," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said. "China has also borrowed and learned from the United States and other countries in the world."

While China encourages use of the Internet for business and "education", it strictly monitors the Web and censors anything it considers critical or a threat to the ruling Communist Party.

Representatives from Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and Google Inc. on Wednesday faced harsh questioning from U.S. lawmakers at a hearing of a House of Representatives International Relations subcommittee in Washington.

Yahoo has been accused of providing information that led to the jailing of two of its Chinese e-mail users, while Google started a Chinese version of its popular search engine that omits links to content deemed unacceptable by the government. Microsoft shut down, at Beijing's request, a popular Chinese blog that touches on sensitive topics such as press freedoms.

Analysts have said that U.S. tech companies eyeing China's market of 110 million Internet users face a $$$ "tough dilemma" $$$ of wanting to tap into an enormous consumer base and following Chinese laws, which give way to the perception they're helping China harass dissidents
