CNN: Yahoo information aids in jailing Chinese dissident

When capitalism and Liberty confront one another liberty loses.

BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- Yahoo Inc. has been cited in a Chinese court decision to jail a dissident Internet writer for 10 years for subversion in 2003 -- the fourth such case to surface implicating the U.S. Internet giant.

Wang Xiaoning, born in 1951, was convicted of the charge of "incitement to subvert state power," the New York-based watchdog Human Rights in China (HRIC) said in a statement.

Evidence cited in the verdict included "information provided by Yahoo Holdings (Hong Kong) Ltd. stating that Wang's "aaabbbccc" Yahoo Group was set up using the mainland China-based email address bxoguhúyahoo.com.cn.," HRIC said.

1. I don't get your statement about capitalism and liberty?

This is totalitarianism using a corporatian to further its own agenda. That the corporation is complying shouldn't be such a shock as the same corporation has agreed to give our own burgeoning totalitarian regime the same type of access to its records. The only difference is the regime governing us has sworn to only use the information to jail terrorists. (Insert tongue in cheek, here.)

2. Yahoo...snitching out dissidents and compromising free speech since 1993.

Thanks ASSHOLES. :grr:

Does it occur to you Quislings that someday they'll be coming after you.

3. Ah...a fine, and underused word for traitor...

...is the term: Quisling.

Thank you, farmbo...nice on the ear to hear the use of the most apt word sometimes.
