What do you think?
Is it corect that Yahoo sends private information to state-capitalist China govt. contary to their privacy policy statement?
Is it corect that Chinease people were jailed because of that?
Is it corect that we use Yahoo, the most evil internet company?
It wouldn't be better boicoting it?

It's true. I've heard Yahoo is "rethinking" the policy. People have gone to prison and re-education camps based on info provided to the communist government by Yahoo. None that I know of have been executed, yet.

If you are Chinese they will,they have even turned over usage information such as web sites visited,e mails sent etc so that Chinese govt can investigate without cause,and have set up system to censor internet usage for Chinese users. However what's the alternative?

Well, like Google, they want to comply to the government's rules in order to make more money - so, I would have to say it's okay - and boycotting in this generation is not effective.
And don't you find it a bit ironic that you say Yahoo! is evil, yet you are using their services? Doesn't that make you said 'evil'?

It's only a matter of time before the Patriot Act gets invoked to do similar stuff inside the US.

Not true at all.....
Just another case of paranoia over-ruling common sense.
Yahoo is an AMERICAN company--and we do NOT cave to outside pressure!
We are FREE here....and Yahoo would not last long if they did what you are accusing!
Now go away, paranoid moron!

It may be true!
The local Chinese takeaway sent me a beef curry yesterday!
