He talks about Yahoo’s Terry Semel: In my own question I channeled Berkman Center colleague Rebecca MacKinnon, who has appropriately noted that Yahoo “chose to provide an e-mail service hosted on servers based inside China, making itself subject to Chinese legal jurisdiction.” Semel’s answer was both evasive and condescending.

I'm glad to see that somone out there really gives a damn and is willing to call this crap what it is.

What a shame. Thanks for this, Dan. I’m glad to see that somone out there really gives a damn and is willing to call this crap what it is.
