A Pox Upon Their House

Posted by Doug on September 8th, 2005

Yahoo! now joins the ever-growing group of American companies who are actively assisting the Chinese government in oppressing their people – BBC NEWS: Yahoo ‘helped jail China writer’.

I am actively reconsidering my use of Yahoo! mail, even though I tend to use it only for catching spam and dummy website registrations. Unfortunately, one of my fantasy football leagues is run using Yahoo!!!!111oneeleven!!, so I’m in a bit of a quandary.

Fie, fie upon their (corporate) house! Yahoo!’s executives should be flogged in public, along with Cisco, Microsoft and Google’s higher echelons.

  So, the first four people that either follow me [...]
