Yahoo! Deeply Concerned Over Chinese Internet Censorship
By
After helping send a man to jail for eight years Yahoo! releases a written statement that talked about a free and unrestricted internet. Too little, too late? We think so, and so does Shi Tao who is now serving eight years in jail!
In a written statement that did not refer to China, it said it was committed to an unrestricted internet. The Chinese government enforces strict laws on internet use, blocking content it considers a threat, including references to the Tiananmen Square massacre and notable dissidents. Yahoo has been accused of releasing data that led to the jailing of online writer and corruption critic Li Zhi for eight years in 2003, and to the imprisonment of reporter Shi Tao in a separate case.
