Reporters Without Borders reports that Yahoo supplied personal data about a user in China to Chinese police, leading to the dissident's jailing in 2003. This is the second time RWB reported about imprisonment of a Chinese Internet user with the help of Yahoo. The house will hold hearings on February 15 on the operating practices of U.S. Internet companies in China. I hope these companies will work together to arrive at some solution for dealing with this problem.
