Boycott Yahoo

Dump their email addresses if you’ve got them, or fill them with junk, but for God’s sake don’t use Yahoo email addresses to send any kind of “real” or especially sensitive information as Yahoo will happily divulge your private information, location, IP address and even the original email message so that you would get deep, very deep in the shit.

Thank you Yahoo.

Information supplied by Yahoo ! helped journalist Shi Tao get 10 years in prison

The text of the verdict in the case of journalist Shi Tao – sentenced in April to 10 years in prison for “divulging state secrets abroadâ€? – shows that Yahoo ! Holdings (Hong Kong) Ltd. provided China’s state security authorities with details that helped to identify and convict him, Reporters Without Borders said today.

“We already knew that Yahoo ! collaborates enthusiastically with the Chinese regime in questions of censorship, and now we know it is a Chinese police informant as well,� the press freedom organisation said.

    Boycott Yahoo

    More like Yahoo trying to curry favor with the Government of China than the Patriot Act el Pinko. Why not vent your BS at the Chinese Government and Yahoo than something that has nothing to do with the issue? Or sorry it is just to damn easy to pick on something you know jack shit about. Do you live in a constant state of paranoia or have you been at the HASHISH Bar in Amsterdam again?
