Is Yahoo helping the Chinese government to identify and prosecute pro-democracy journalists and dissidents?

This is from a news story that I just read.

Update:

bcptm; I'm aware of the whittling away of freedom. I'm just testing to see if the NSA is listening in.

    ~Not as much as it's helping the CIA, FBI and Homeland Security keep an eye on American patriots exercising their rights of free speech in the new age of McCarthy, er, Bush the Younger.

    Beware, you could be next. Except you seem to sold on the deflections and misdirections being diseminated to distract you from your freedom that is being whittled away (with a broad axe) on a daily basis, so you're probably safe.

    These mud-slinging accusations will continue as long as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo have to battle each other to get the blessings of the Chinese authorities for their respective products.

    Yes....they were, but then they figured out, (like everybody else) that you can't have a profitable business in china..They sold to a Chinese company I think..Not before helping the Chinese gov..just like MS and MANY other money hungry jerks..

    This is a great question indeed. It has been alleged and is seemingly the case. Of course you know that. At least it's something we should all ponder a bit. I wish I could be more help.
