Just a week after being publicly chastised by Congress for cooperating with the Chinese government in a case that led to the jailing of two journalists, Yahoo has settled a lawsuit filed by the men and their families.
Yahoo's top executives faced a US Congressional hearing yesterday after being accused of providing false information to the House last year over its role in the arrest of Chinese cyberdissident Shi Tao.
Yahoo has asked the judge in a US lawsuit to dismiss the case against it, claiming that it was bound by Chinese law when it helped identify two journalists in the country that were later jailed for criticising the communist government.
Internet giant Yahoo has called for Internet, communications, and media organisations to work with the US government over Chinese censorship online, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
Google said on Tuesday it would launch versions of its search and news Web sites in China that censor material deemed objectionable to authorities there, reasoning that users getting limited access to content was better than none.
Charles Cooper says the tech industry should move beyond its take-it or leave-it approach to trade and human rights.
