Yaaahhhhoooooooooo-ew?

Ah yes, the survivors of the Dot. Com boom and bust finally grow up, and start acting like real U.S. Corporations:

"Mr Wang was arrested after distributing online articles calling for democratic reform and a multiparty system in China via Yahoo! sites in 2000 and 2001. His suit contends that Yahoo!’s Honk Kong office provided police in China with information that linked him to the postings. Mr Wang was arrested in September 2002 and says he was beaten while in detention.

A Yahoo! spokesman said the company “is distressed that citizens in China have been imprisoned for expressing their political views on the internet", but said it had not had time to review Mr Wang's lawsuit."
