Yahoo to settle the lawsuit

Yahoo said it had to comply with Chinese laws to operate in the country, and alleged to have been providing information to the Chinese government that had then been used to prosecute the dissidents. A statement released by the World Organization for Human Rights USA, which brought the case, said Yahoo had decided to settle the case following criticism at a US Congressional hearing on 6 November. Yahoo has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought against it on behalf of several Chinese dissidents, according to papers filed in a California court. No details have been given of the settlement but Yahoo will be covering legal costs.
