Why doesn't Yahoo understand that helping the Chinese government put people in jail is wrong?

i would be curious what people think of this in comparison to illegal immigrants in the US.  Yahoo will change their policy when the government changes theirs.  or are you suggesting that yahoo break the law?

They can't learn, thats the problem.\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-pOypG0szd7Pv_X1rQxw_4qCWpA--?cq=1&p=302

It is a crime. Though maybe not as serious as mistreating a human, it's still bad if someone will intentionally hurt a basically defenseless animal. These ppl are the ones who often hurt people next.\n*In China dogs and cats can be considered food.*

Makes exactly the same amount of sense, doesn't it?\n\nThere is a certain kind of "logic" that is so off-base that you can't argue with it other than to throw up your hands and give up. That kind of  logic, which includes "how can 2 billion people be wrong" (which obviously doesn't include the Chinese) also asks irrefutable questions of the nature of "If 'BURD' doesn't spell bird, what does it spell?", and so forth.\n\nWhen you give up in disgust, they believe they have won an argument.\n\nWhat I also don't understand is that if the Creator wants me to believe certain things, why have perverts, idiots and outright criminals been appointed to the task of teaching me?

yahoo is required to obey the law same as any  other business as if they don't I am sure there are methods to deal with them from our gov, as well as other gov, since they have warned everyone of these laws it is the users responsibility  to use caution when using this site,  What would you do under the same circumstances

They do not allow free discussion of its people.  They are concerned that the democratic movement would use the internet to create widespread interrest in democracy and challenge their control of the Chinese people.\n\nAny companies that operate in China is subject to its laws.  Google and Yahoo are operating in China and is being forced to follow its restrictive laws.

Ohhh, is our poor little criminal not getting the services that the tax money is paying for...poor honey....maybe they should just chain up the cheating bastard. \n\nIt depends whether it is a corectional center of prison for punishment...if the latter, the person is a slime going in and likely will be comiing out. \n\nIt is not the govrnments problem to take care of everyone...take care of yourself. When you are too stupid or criminal, then they step in to intervene...

I think it's absolutely REPREHENSIBLE, and whomever did this at YAHOO should be taken into a dank basement and left their for up to 10 years, without anything but rice, and a BOWL do ones business in which is emptied maybe once a week, then they'll have the SAME conditions that Chinese intellectual prisoners get,it's so BOGUS It makes the BILE rise in my throat. I can't see yahoo doing this, I mean, what would the possible gain be, unless they're so hard up they want a relationship with perhaps the WORST human rights violators since Hitler on the face of this earth..it's unconscionable...seriously, and it REALLY, REALLY makes me sick. I had a great working relationship and friendship with a young person in China, close to my age in his early 30\ns on EBAY selling soccer items. We would talk, exchange ideas, etc. and I was truly worried about his safety after the HORROR stories I've heard about the disgusting oppressive government just coming in the middle of the day and taking someone away, holding a farce of a trial and then proclaiming that "THE LAW HAS WORKED PERFECTLY AGAIN IN CHINA AS THE ACCUSED HAS ADMITTED HIS WRONG DOING" after tons of torture of course, which is NOT limited to the person, it extends to that persons family, and then the government puts the SHAME MACHINE on them, which alienates these souls from their friends, family, neighbours, its horrid, horrifying and I had a chance to visit china and out of principal would NOT do it, they're is NO WAY id go there, as I know my own political views would probably gotten me removed quickly.. that just sits SO wrong with me, so I feel sick now, but to make a long story longer, my friend just stopped emailing one day, and then, I get an email from an account I'd never seen from this guys wife of ONE year, saying they came and got him and he's now in a Chinese prision for 2 years, she coudlnt' speak english and the translation was poor but I got the gist of it and literally wanted to RAMBO the MOTHERFUCKERS who did it,seriously, it wasn't hard to decipher her utter devistation, and it's sickening..they make me sick and if I ever heard of YAHOO doing that, I would NEVER, EVER use them again, EVER..plus, being a news writer for a large paper here in my area, I would definately let as many people know as possible about who did the turning in, and about the Chinese atrocities for things that we wouldn't think twice about. They are watched constantly they cannot talk openly aboout anything, the guy whom I bought items from I had to send the money a special way or his landlord would literally steal it,as he was a government party member, the shite, no that is just so, so wrong it's not EVEN funny, and I hope it wasn't brought up to be funny, because it's actually SICK. So, whoever came up with the question I truly hope you were serious, because your talking about human beings,with families, and lives, and hopes and dreams that could be SNUFFED OUT in ONE second by a heartless, regime hell bent on keeping it's people DOWN, although their public face is completely different if you visit they're you don't see any of the horror, they have people standing all around to keep you from wandering off, etc. So it's all BS, and HORRIBLE HUMAN TREATMENT, and the thought of YAHOO doing that is absolutely REPREHENSIBLE, Yahoo should be a voice and protector of these people, and let them be heard, and heard loudly while protecting their idenity. That's  the Yahoo I would think or hope exsists, and I'd like to know where the information came from about Yahoo or someone associated turning in a chinese person for something they said? It makes no sense.

China is a totalitarian Communist State; and they rule with an iron fist.  They execute 8,000 political prisoners a year in China...think about that for a second...8,000 people a year kille for their political beliefs that differ from the government.  \n\nI'm happy to be an American, and hope we can keep it that way forever.

It makes revenue for the local govenments. It is wrong to put people in jail for such things but the do it anyway but they are wanting the fines as they know that they can't stop it.

there are a couple of CNN reports on this including one\nwhich mentions Britain giving money & British ships taking evacuees. I think there's something about the prisoners from the jail being taken to another prison...\n\nhop it helps & is not too late for you

Yahoo is will lose money if they stop doing business in china. They have stated that giving people some information is better than no information at all, but I think it is probably all about the $$.

no, china is still exectuting people, and lots of Europeans are travelling there to buy organs.  Because the orgens cost so much money, and there is a big demand for them, there is no way of knowing if the chinese are executing people too early (ie if their trial has finished)or if they will execute someone just for the money.  Its a sick situation.

Oh damnit, a political question, I was tricked. I think the main problem with the trust issue is mainly due to the iffy criminal justice system. In order for law to work it must be swift, severe, and gauranteed: People sit on death row for 15 years, child rapists have been released with simple probations for treatment and no punishment, and you can commit the same crime in 2 places, one gets you probation and the other gets you 20 years. I believe that until these issues are better delt with, people will not be able to believe that our justice system is efficient enough to "correct" anyone. Unfortunately our justice system is unique in the world, it is a system that would literally let 10 guilty people go than send one innocent person to jail, which I can't argue with, but hopefully in the future people will realize that it's a mess and someone will fix it.

Yahoo have no idea what the China government agency going to do with it when they released all the data about the individual in China. China required all internet content company such as Yahoo to released the data and they have no choices if they want to do business in China.

It was my understanding that the gov't requested the info ... not that yahoo just gave the info on their own
