After
Yahoo provided info to China's government that led to the imprisoning
of two Chinese dissidents in 2002 and 2004, the families of victims (Wang Xiaoning and Shi Tao) sued Yahoo. As a result, Yahoo announced in 2008 that it was establishing a fund for people jailed in China for posting human rights views online. Too little, too late?
In response to demands from China's government, Google agreed in June
2010 to quit automatically switching its users in China to Google's
uncensored Hong Kong search site. But there's a tab users can click to be switched. Should Chinese citizens feel safe to hit that tab?
