(2007-11-14) Foremski Yahoo Moral Pygmies

Tom Foremski calls Yahoo a bunch of "MorAl Pygmies" for their activities in China. Would you work for a Silicon Valley company that has been called a "police informant" by Reporters Without Borders because it handed over information to Chinese authorities that led to ten year prison sentences for two people--for the crime of distributing a censor's order not to write about the anniversary of the Tiananmen Protests? You wouldn't especially since you now have a choice. We currently have very robust jobs market in Silicon Valley where competition is fierce. A good salary is one thing but it is not enough, people care about where they work.
