Amnesty International came out with some information recently about the assistance China received from US internet companies for censoring the various uses of the internet in China.
Amnesty International has highlighted the case of Shi Tao, a journalist who used his Yahoo! account to email a US-based website, sharing the details of an internal government directive barring media reports that could fuel unrest during the 15th anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre. Shi was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Yahoo! provided information to the government for his prosecution.
