Yahoo 看起來非常有心捍衛人權與自由,那麼我們當然要努力與科技巨頭合作,確保各大科技公司履行承諾。
所以我寫了一封信,準備寄給
Global Network Initiative。希望簽了這個協議的Yahoo 能夠致力確保芒果日報的言論自由。
To whom it may concern:
Yahoo! Taiwan had recently shut down a popular, personal blog - Mango Daily
(http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/antired-newspaper) as of Nov.21, 2008. Mango Daily is a popular and awarded blog that serves as a voice for Taiwanese democracy.
Mango Daily's recent article about a protest rally against a China envoy's visit to Taiwan had infuriated a riot control policeman and that officer asked Yahoo! to shut down Mango Daily. The riot policeman had postings on his own blog supporting the conduct of the police force during the Chinese envoy's stay in Taiwan. Mango Daily's article included a snapshot of the policeman's articles and criticism of his ideology. Yahoo! removed Mango Daily's article and eventually shut down that blog at 3:00pm, Nov.21, 2008. Following the case of Shi-Tao, Yahoo! again played its role as an agent of totalitarian.
Mango Daily's blog has since reopened under a new address (http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/mangodaily-again/) on Yahoo! Blog in response to the action taken against it.
Yahoo! Taiwan's decision has generated serious apprehension among Taiwanese regarding freedom of speech. Bloggers and internet users have written and questioned the action of Yahoo! Taiwan. With Yahoo! Hong Kong as the holding company of Yahoo! Taiwan, we are deeply concerned that China would seize the opportunity to manipulate and jeopardize Taiwan's hard-earned democracy and freedom.
Here is a letter by International Federation for Human Rights expressing their concern regarding the protest incident in Taiwan.

The press release from the Freedom House regarding the same incident.

Please help us preserve freedom and human rights in Taiwan.
Sincerely,
我打算把信寄到
這裡。如果有人也想幫助Yahoo,可以寫信寄到這個信箱,懶的寫要直接寄同一封的話我也不反對啦。
另外
這一頁有參與這個方案的各組織名單,要是有人擔心電子郵件寄來寄去會遺失,或是寄去總信箱各團體不見的都收得到,還可以認真一點,一家一家寄耶。
最後,
Focus on Taiwan有我所欽佩並學習的文章,請大家也多多參考喔。
美國科技三巨頭Google、微軟(Microsoft)和雅虎(Yahoo!)前天共同簽署一項行為規範,承諾將致力於保障全球網友的言論自由和隱私權,抗拒來自政府的侵犯。此舉獲得人權團體喻為期待已久的「重要第一步」。

唉~我看隨便聽聽就好了,對他們實在是不敢期待啊。
