White Terror Reoccurs in Taiwan - Yahoo! shut down Mango Daily
白色恐怖重現台灣 - Yahoo!關閉芒果日報部落格

Yahoo! Taiwan shut down a popular personal blog - Mango Daily (http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/antired-newspaper) on Nov.21, 2008. Mango Daily is a popular and awarded blog that voices for Taiwanese democracy.

Mango Daily's recent article about a protest rally against China envoy's visit to Taiwan infuriated a riot control policeman and that officer asked Yahoo! to shut down Mango Daily. Yahoo! removed a Mango Daily's article and finally shut down that blog on 3:00pm, Nov.21, 2008. Again, Yahoo! played its role as an agent of totalitarian.

Yahoo! was notorious for its cooperation with totalitarian. In 2004, Yahoo! provided users' IP information to Chinese government and that led to Chinese journalist Shi Tao's 10 years of sentence in Chinese prison. (Shi Tao was a journalist, but not Jack Bauer. 24's(Fox TV) Jack Bauer was in Chinese prison only for 20 months)

It seems that Yahoo! did not learn any lesson from Shi Tao's case. Furthermore, Chinese government might get its dirty hands in Taiwanese democracy with the assistance of Yahoo! (Hong Kong) Holdings Ltd. Yahoo! (Hong Kong) Holdings' shamful behavior directly led to the conviction of a good journalist.

From recent Mango Daily's case, Taiwanese people who own blogs and email accounts at Yahoo! should be very careful with Yahoo's human rights record.



中文標題: 白色恐怖重現台灣 - Yahoo!關閉芒果日報部落格

可恥的Yahoo!雅虎奇摩台灣 - 或者，我們應該稱呼牠們為香港商雅虎資訊股份有限公司，在2008/11/21 3:00pm關閉了為台灣民主發聲的知名芒果日報部落格。

這個事件，為Yahoo!在全球惡劣的人權紀錄再添一筆。Yahoo!的香港控股公司 - Yahoo!(Hong Kong) Holdings Ltd. 在2004-2005年間曾經因為配合提供e-mail帳戶的IP資料給中國政府，導致新聞記者師濤在中國被判刑十年。

這次，Yahoo!因為一個鎮暴警察的檢舉，就把一個曾經得獎且廣受歡迎的部落格關閉，台灣那些還在用Yahoo!帳號與部落格的民眾，可要好好小心提防Yahoo!超級惡劣的人權紀錄了。

剛剛上經濟部網站查了一下，Yahoo! Taiwan其實已經是香港商雅虎資訊股份有限公司，它們會不會繼續做中國政府的幫兇，還是做馬英九政府侵害人權與言論自由的幫兇，沒有人敢掛保證。

白色恐怖重現台灣，新案例每週陸續出現中，請大家務必用力向國際發聲求援!
