bobquasit | Shame On Yahoo

I couldn't resist posting this comment on the Yahoo discussion forum for a news story about Yahoo's plan to continue to cooperate with the Chinese government's violation of human rights...I suppose it might be deleted, so here's the text.

Subject: Shame On Yahoo!

Not really much more to say...by helping the Chinese government jail dissidents, Yahoo is showing itself to have no consideration for human rights...nor any consideration for the ordinary people who make up their clientele.

I guess we'd all better hope that our own governments don't decide to pressure Yahoo into giving up our personal information, because if they do, Yahoo obviously won't hesitate to comply, no matter how tyrannical and despotic the government.

It's not rocket science, of course. Just the obvious.
