Yahoo Helped China Jail Journalist

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050907/ap_on_hi_te/china_reporter_jailed


A French media watchdog said Tuesday that information provided by Internet powerhouse Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news) helped Chinese authorities convict and jail a journalist who had written an e-mail about press restrictions.

The criticism from Reporters Without Borders marks the latest instance in which a prominent high-tech company has faced accusations of cooperating with Chinese authorities to gain favor in a country that's expected to become an Internet gold mine.
