Yahoo says it obeyed Chinese law by turning in e-mails – Dan Nystedt

From Infoworld.com:

Yahoo was only following Chinese law when it provided evidence that helped land a local journalist a 10-year jail sentence, the company said Thursday…

“Just like any other global company, Yahoo must ensure that its local country sites must operate within the laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which they are based,” Mary Osako, a Yahoo spokeswoman, said via e-mail.
