Yahoo to face suit over jailing of Chinese dissident

...Obviously his posts were made under some delusion of privacy. The fact that he can spend 10 years in jail for attempting to tell the truth, or at least his version of it, is not right.
...I know this isn't the case, but a website that leaves you feeling secure an anonymous and then hands you over to the authorities, feels like entrapment.
...I think Yahoo has an obligation to make sure users understand that they have no privacy rights and will be reported to their governments if requests are made.

Wow, this is 1984 creepy, she bashed big brother, and forgot about the camera in the tv creepy. In America you'd have to be a conspiracy nut to be worried about that, its hard to even fathom what it must be like to be stuck over their. Damn I can't get over it, 10 long years in a China prison no less for a thought crime, War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery Ingnorance is Strength

It looks like the author or copy editor butchered the spelling of 'Wang Xianoning''s name. Might want to check it with a specialist.

At least he got a trial. Some doing time in GITMO don't have any hope of one of them.
