The web portal giant is helping the Communist government in China track down political dissidents. At least two of them are now sitting in prison because Yahoo! handed over records that led to their arrest... for the simple crime of sending an e-mail.
Why the hell is a U.S. company like Yahoo! dealing with a government that would rather see this nation destroyed? Why is any American company dealing with China, for that matter.
I mean, will somebody please explain to me why it is that China enjoys Most Favored Nation status with us?
This deal with Yahoo! tells me something: that too many parties, from the elected politicians on to corporate interests, are willing to sell out this country's principles for sake of a fast buck. There is no possible way that this can be defended, no matter who it is that's dealing with for all intents and purposes the sole superpower threat that exists to the United States today.
What makes you think they aren't doing the same thing to American customers?
ReplyDeleteUhh.. money doesn't play loyalties or principles. You misconstrue capitalism with political loyalties.
