| The friendly facade of Yahoo is slowly slipping away
The more we learn about Yahoo's dealings with the Chinese Communist government, the more disgusting the company looks. The fact that yahoo is helping to silence the voices of pro-democracy dissidents in the name of profit, is ripping away the supposedly friendly hippie like image that these companies like to portray themselves as.

If it hurts Yahoo! in any way....
it's a good thing.
Yahoo!, like Google and Microsoft want the profit from both sides of the street. Our founding documents came from a group of men who mostly believed that the behavior exercised by the current Chinese gvt. is WRONG.
Does everyone here understand the meaning of Wrong? If there is any doubt of wrongness of treatment of Cho Citizen, you'd be fine if I spent months beating you bloody and then imprisoning you for a decade or so, at my whim. If you'd prefer a gvt to do it to you, then we'd get a county commission or state legislator to perform on you instead. Whatever you want.
Yahoo! becomes what it is because of the blessings of an Inspired and Safe Nation. Now that they've bled all the money that they can from here they will adopt whatever vile and inhumane creed they have to, in the pursuit of more cash.
That is a Base and Inhuman business philosophy. That is the Character of the men who run Yahoo!. The same Circle of hell waits for them that lies for Nixon, Bush1, Google and Microsoft. In a just universe, these men will suffer for their greed.

Rights that we are able to enjoy in this country. In this case Yahoo cooperated with the Chinese government to bring this person to jail for speaking out against the Chinese government. In turn for that cooperation Yahoo is still able to business in China. |

Most of these businesses, in retrospect, probably came into China with the prospects of bringing "freedom" to it.
Unfortunately in this case, it simply looks like they dug the hole a little deeper. |

| It's not some random occurence...
...it's the product of carefully thought out decisions.
After much consideration Yahoo! (once again) DECIDES to hand out the vital information necessary to enable the Chinese gvt to beat and imprison a dissident.
Google DECIDES to aid the Chinese gvt in striping that information from Cho Citizen that one day might bring him liberty.
Microsoft DECIDES to yield to (as yet unknown) concessions in order to profit from their product there.
Each of these corp.s could have DECIDED something else. But that would have cut into their profit.
Cash before Character. Profits before Inalienable Human Rights. If Haliburton were twice the monster they are commonly accused of, it wouldn't compare with these atrocities.
But accusing Yahoo! and Google doesn't satisfy the same agenda that accusing Haliburton does. Thus the much difference press coverage.
It would be appropriate for Yahoo!MicrosoftGoogle to suffer great financial penalties for their actions.

Welcome to the Global Economy where International businesses(not US businesses) operate around the world and must follow the rules of the countries they are in.
If Yahoo or Google insisted on overriding the laws of the countries they operate in, there are many here who are currently deriding their actions who would then be calling them imperialists. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Yeah, no bid contracts for countless billions with no accountability=selling out a dissident or two. Depends upon who you ask. |

| Yea. Just a dissident or two. That should help you obscure the billions who are living in an increasingly Stalinist atmosphere with few freedoms and fewer liberties.
That should help you ignore Google helping establish the most persuasive censorship net in the world.
Those billions are just people after all, not dollars.
There ARE priorities.

Re: If it hurts Yahoo! in any way....
Well, when we all move to China and get the right to vote, then we have a say in it, untill then, we ALL need to quit whining like little girls who just skinned thier knees and got blood on thier new pink dresses about how China's laws and the way they treat thier law breakers.
Which is also why I love being from a free country.
And you should too, seeing that if you would have said our leaders are going to hell in China, you'd be enjoying a nice long butt raping prison sentence. |
