Wife of Jailed Chinese Dissident to Sue Yahoo!
The wife of a man jailed in China for 10 years for articles he posted on the Internet plans to SUE YAHOO. The woman, Yu Ling, says Yahoo colluded with China's communist government to track down and arrest her husband, Wang Xiaoning. She's now in the United States, and pressing forward with a lawsuit against Yahoo. We Western geeks don't like to admit it, but companies we reward with our business, like Yahoo and Google, help the repressive Chinese government crush free speech and democracy in China by helping them censor the Internet and throw innocent people in jail -- and they do it for the money.

Google held its ground in not revealing personal data, I think, but maybe that was only here in the US.
Only an idiot would believe or expect there is any privacy on the internet.
I'm not sure this is a privacy issue. This is about the ethics of a company who's entire reason for existence is to make information of all kinds available to everyone colluding with a communist authoritarian government in censorship and jailing people who write about politics.
