Tech firms prepare for congressional grilling over China operations
The House International Relations subcommittee on global human rights will question executives from Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and Cisco tomorrow about their business operations in China. Yahoo is under fire for handing over information on dissidents to Beijing, while Google has been criticized for censoring information on its China search site at the behest of the government.
Yesterday, Yahoo issued a statement promising to examine guidlines for tech companies operating in countries that limit free expression.
