Yahoo’s long-running defense of its Chinese operations, which have been criticized for close cooperation with the country’s police agencies, took an unusual twist this week in a confrontation at the company’s headquarters.
Julien Pain of Reporters Without Borders, a free speech advocacy organization, stopped by Yahoo’s San Jose, Calif., headquarters on Monday accompanied by a film crew from ABC World News Tonight. In a moment reminiscent of Michael Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine,” Pain asked to meet with company executives–but Yahoo sent out its security guards instead.
