    "Last year YAHOO! knowingly handed over information to the Chinese government to help them track down and prosecute a journalist, Shi Tao, who was subsequently imprisoned for 10 years on a charge of revealing "state secrets".

    Yahoo! later tried to claim they didn't know what the information was to be used for, however a US Congressional Panel tasked with investigating the incident uncovered evidence that this was untrue, and commented that the evidence given to the panel by senior Yahoo! executives was inexcusably negligent at best, and deliberately deceptive at worst."

    Thier Site!

    I'm canceling my yahoo account because of this. I don't agree with censorship and communism.

    You know what is wrong when you live in a democratic country.But in an one party non-democratic country like China(I don't want to say communist country,because I believe China is no more a communist country) Government decides what is wrong and what is right.

    what do you use Yahoo for? I mean yes I know their services, but are they really useful? Yahoo Bookmarks? Yahoo Answers?

    Yahoo's best attempt was to open a search engine api for semantics.

    The only service I am using from Yahoo right now is their email and messenger. I don't use their SE.

    Yup, same here. I prefer Google for other features that I need. Yahoo SE contains too many ads and pics that makes it slower in access. Google SE is more "straight to the point" kinda site, and people like it.
