All Yahoo!’s Fault? · Global Voices
Tian Yi

The Western media are condemning Yahoo!  again for handing over the personal account information of Li Zhi to the Chinese government.  Li Zhi was sentenced to 8 years in jail for ‘inciting subversion’.   In September 2005, Yahoo was accused of helping Chinese authorities identify Shi Tao, a dissident who was sentenced in April to 10 years in prison.  ESWN argues that the reporting “is completely blowing the role of Yahoo! in this case out of proportion“.
