YAHOO! INDEED! MORE CENSORSHIP  Another cyberdissident was revealed to be imprisoned because of data provided by Yahoo! Reporters Without Borders condemned the US firm Yahoo ! for handing over data on one of its users in China which enabled the authorities there to send him to prison for eight years, the second such case that has come to light in recent months. It called on Yahoo ! to supply a list of all cyberdissidents it has provided data on, beginning with 81 people in China for whom the worldwide press freedom organization is currently campaigning to have released. It said it had discovered that Yahoo ! customer and cyberdissident Li Zhi had been given his eight-year prison sentence in December 2003 based on electronic records provided by Yahoo. Wow, talk about your poor spin job: Yahoo! released a statement saying they did not give information about journalists, now jailed, to the government but, maybe their Chinese owned majority partner (export company Aliababa) did. Duh.
