In an event that is a slap in the fave to humanitarian efforts inside China, journalist Shi Tao was sent to jail for 10 years for engaging in pro-democracy efforts deemed subversive after Yahoo turned over information about his online activities requested by the communist government. Yahoo Works With Chinese Government to Send Pro-Democracy Journalist to Jail Seems you're not safe with Google or Yahoo.
No one is safe. And google was the first one to say that they'll cooperate with government: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1939335,00.asp http://www.philoneist.com/50226711/google_to_cooperate_with_chinese_govt_for_censorship.php
This is done in pursuit of the almighty dollar, China's economy is growing by leaps and bounds and these companies don't want to be locked out of it. It's a crying shame that a man doing his job is going to have 10 prime years of his life taken away. I Know its not right, but that's the crux of the matter.
