After notifying "foreign Web sites that his newspaper colleagues had been instructed not to commemorate the then-pending 15th anniversary of China's 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy activists," Chinese journalist Shi Tao received a 10-year prison sentence. According to Reporters Without Borders [3], the court that sentenced Mr. Shi "relied partly on evidence provided by a Hong Kong subsidiary of Internet company Yahoo Inc." The government of President Hu Jintao has repeatedly targeted the media. "Yahoo, Microsoft [4], Google [5], Cisco and other major Internet service and equipment providers have come under scrutiny for helping China [6] to monitor and censor [7] content available to China's 100 million Internet users," notes [8] the International Herald Tribune.
