screw yahoo

just one week after congress very politely referred to the internet giant's senior management as "moral pygmies", yahoo has settled a lawsuit brought against it on behalf of the families of two jailed chinese dissidents.

last week, yahoo's ceo yang claimed "My heart goes out to the families". this week, it's his $$$ that are going out. meanwhile, one of teh 'dissidents' still remains in jail serving a 10 year sentence (he's already done 5).

after the case concluded, jerry yang commented "at yahoo, we believe in the transformative power of the internet. that's why we are so committed to working to support free expression and privacy around the world."

well jerry, obviously you're not working hard enough
