Heh, can only see the preview unless you subscribe.I think this is all arranged by Bill Gates so he can buy Yahoo cheaper.

The OP must be an ex Wall Street broker..:)Stock tumbled...Maybe the Chinese caused the whole market to tumble, but I doubt it.Nice story, and I hope presure by diferent watchdog groups and individuals on search engine giants will make them listen and respect Netizens.

The only way these companies can refuse to obey the laws of the countries where they are located (yahoo has offices in and wants to do business in China) is if they don’t do business there.. They don’t have much choice in the matter.. Send the watchdog groups after the countries.. Oh wait, they are..

Exactly Feydakin. China are perfectly happy to shut down Yahoo, Google and any other search engines that don’t play by their rules. And the ones that do if recent redirects are anything to go by.
