Group Says Yahoo's Help Led to Another (Chinese) Dissident's Arrest - what do you think?

It is evil, I still appreciate the services yahoo provides to me, but to censor anyone in search of freedom, and give in to an oppressive government (such as china's), or any government "request", is simply wrong, and proves that though there are still a few good minds, and good souls behind yahoo, the cooperation is sadly, slowly being claimed by evil, censorship, and anti-freedom "forces"... I think what is happening to yahoo, and what it is doing in China, are both very sad... if any of you good yahoo people read this, please stop the oppressive forces within your otherwise good company, before it is too late...

I feel they are traitorous and have turned their back on the United States.  It's all about money.  Yahoo doesn't really care what anyone in America thinks as long as they keep hauling in the big bucks.

SOMEBODY in the upper echelon got MASSIVELY STUPID and tried to bite off far more than YAHOO can chew insofar as offering services.\n\nYAHOO is like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke. LEAKS are springing up everywhere - in virtually every section.\n\nIf YAHOO had half as many TECHS as they do BUREAUCRATS to patrol answers - SOMETHING MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK RIGHT.

Organisations such as Reporters Without Borders have made that accusation. However, Yahoo has denied it saying it "never releases information to the Chinese Government."

The Yahoo! Answers Team cares very much about these things. They have worked very hard on making this site the very best that it can be.\n\nUnfortunately, there is always someone to spoil the party. Over-all this IS a fantastic site. With that said, yes, we all know that it does have its problems, and you have certainly identified one of the biggest ones.\n\nThe Yahoo! Answers Team is currently working on solving this problem. As some else in this thread already mentioned, abusers often open a new account as soon as they are suspended and continue the violating behavior.\n\nThe best that we can do at the moment is use the "Report Abuse" button whenever you see this violation, or any other of the Community Guidelines. This is a way that e can all assist the Y!AT in combating this problem.\n\nThere have also been discussions going on in the Forum (link at the top of every page), about the use of "Volunteer User Moderators".  They are currently trying to work out a way to insure that it will work out properly.\n\nPlease, rest assured, that the Y!AT DOES care very much!

If you feel that this person has violated Yahoo's Terms of Service, you should report him.

Would that be like "shooting ourselves in the foot?"  We are really trying to find the "logic" in this one.  Nah, it wouldn't be coveted Yahoo points?  \n\nWhat do you hope to accomplish by acting out the very actions you passionately criticize?  What "incite," oops "insight."  --  a case of "Two wrongs DO make a right?" \n\nCount us out!  It will cost the school money!\n\nEdit:  Bad idea.  We will check with Yahoo to see if an account user can change the rules of this forum.  That is pretty strong language you are using there.  And, no, no one here will march;  we participate in constructive efforts regarding current events.\n\nCorrection:  We did not say we didn't like your posts; we said we do not like the APPROACH of your posts.  This approach creates yet another problem, simple.  Your motivation (to show how much MORE impact YOUR leadership can make than the illegals),  appears cavalier and  misguided.  \n\nWe will, however,  pursue TEGID's  constructive post, instead.  He can count us in.

Similar thing happened to me because some people's sensibilities just wont stand for that kind of a question.  I'm as open minded as the next guy and would never report anything like that.  But when someone does, for whatever reason, I suppose Yahoo are obliged to do something about it.  If you haven't been banned or your account deleted then don't worry too much about it.

I didn't know Yahoo did it.  I know Google did it.  I don't approve, but I understand.  It was the only way they could get the Chinese business, and we can't influence anything over there if we have no presence over there, even if it is censored for now.  Chinese hackers will be smart enough to find the information and get it out to the people.

No, not unless they actually investigate the reports to see which ones are unfounded and which ones are legit. I've been reporting, I think one guy, who's been impersonating at least three or four people. How would Yahoo know anything about it unless someone tells them? With your way, even the person being impersonated would lose points for reporting it. Stuff like that shouldn't happen. If Yahoo investigated these reports, there wouldn't be a problem, so we wouldn't need a plan. The whole reason reporting gets out of hand is because the offenders know Yahoo isn't investigating reports, so they can get away with it.

Yeah, I was pretty offended by the 21 gun salute for the abusive dictator.  Guess it just proves that China is playing a bigger role in the world, and that we are anxious to court their support.  But I'm pretty consistently disappointed in our president going along with this injustice.  Sadly, most people don't seem at all concerned that we're supportive of a government like China's that still kills and imprisons people without cause.

Identify the account holder and report them to Yahoo for identification so that they could be indicted in court.

The reporting function works well, that is Yahoo's monitoring.  I do think they should delete not only the questions, but suspend the member if they continue.

Wow - \n\nYou must be mistaken.  I am totally shocked that a liberal, open minded, free thinking member would have anything to do with squelching your individual rights of free speech that were manifested in a forum specifically established to inquire about such matters.  \n\nParticularly because it was such a seemingly relevant question considering the happenings in the world today.\n\nI suppose I shall have to reconsider my opinion.  I wonder if I'm allowed to do that?
