| Yahoo 'helped jail China writer' Internet giant Yahoo has been accused of supplying information to China which led to the jailing of a journalist for "divulging state secrets". Yahoo's Hong Kong arm helped China link Shi Tao's e-mail account and computer to a message containing the information. The media watchdog accused Yahoo of becoming a "police informant" in order to further its business ambitions. A Yahoo spokeswoman, Pauline Wong, said the company had no immediate comment. Sniveling bitches. Shi Tao, 37, worked for the Contemporary Business News in Hunan province, before he was arrested and sentenced in April to 10 years in prison. According to a translation of his conviction, he was found guilty of sending foreign-based websites the text of an internal Communist Party message. ... the message warned journalists of the dangers of social unrest resulting from the return of dissidents on the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, in June 2004. No more yahoo IM, no more Yahoo email. Go to google, use Trillian for IM |

| #7 Google? They're the ones that carry white supremacist and pro-jihadi websites in their news aggregators, saying they're "legitimate news sources". Meanwhile, they refuse to carry Michelle Malkin -- who's been breaking the Air America fraud story -- because she doesn't claim to be more than one person on her website. |

| #3 Has this been reported by anyone other than a socialist mouthpiece? Don't get me wrong - it's disgusting if the report is true. But I'm a little skeptical of any group with "sans frontieres" in its name. |

| #1 Wait, Google isn't as guilty??? (Since I use both of what you described and was already boycotting Google -- as an app, YIM has been just too good to substitute.) |
