Question

i heard search engines like yahoo and google are payed a lot of money to help scout out people in china who speak out against the government, and that these people are put in prison for years for just telling the truth. thats really sad
have you heard this? what do you think?

Answer 1

Ok your facts are not completely accurate...

Yahoo just last week participated in Congressional hearings on this matter.

It is true that China censors but Yahoo did not help them seek the ppl out that were trying to bypass the system. All Yahoo did, as any company does when it is doing business in a foreign country, is agree to abide by that country's rules in exchange for being able to do business there.

Answer 2

The Chinese are known to monitor ALL communications into and out of China.

Yahoo/Google scouting for dissidents? I doubt it.

Answer 3

The criminal gadget isn't immature or vulnerable. that's talked approximately as a "armed forces junta justice gadget". All human beings are in charge till shown harmless, and the ability to be shown harmless are unavailable to the accused. it sort of feels slightly dazzling to a pair human beings from different cultures, even regardless of the undeniable fact that that's amazingly effective at getting rid of superfluous persons interior a society. The Nazis used it fairly effectively.

Answer 4

Google images blocks (or at least used to) images of the Tianamen Square incidnet, and almost certainly other things as well.

Answer 5

Government is repressive that it has to curb freedom of speech by imprisoning people who protests against it.
