U.S. lawmakers lambasted Yahoo for allegedly putting revenue from the booming Chinese market ahead of free-speech and human-rights concerns. Journalist Shi Tao has been confined for 2 year in a Chinese prison for the contents of an e-mail.

As we all know, when it comes to freedom of speech and universal human rights, U.S. is very loud. But to gain access to lucrative foreign markets, some companies agree to abide the local regulations that can run afoul with the U.S. laws and principles concerning freedom of speech and universal human rights.

So it looks like we can’t really trust these so called “secrecy promises” made by these online moguls… Now, I’m wondering which or what email service I should use now…
