  response to  Rebecca MacKinnon and Josh Cochran's post Internet Intervention

  International criticism

  The first commenter wouldn't even need to search for MacKinnon on the web. Her bio already establishes her credentials. It is, to be sure, pretty arrogant and sometimes stupid to try to tell other countries what to do, but a bit of pressure here and there is sometimes useful. It may work better if it's international. In this connection, the commenter might look for the June 9 AP report on an international group based in London that slammed Google and other web tools for invasion of privacy. Privacy is important to a lot of us. Staying out of jail might be even more important, and if Yahoo helps send Chinese to jail to make a profit I want to put pressure on Yahoo. For the same reason, I applaud Amnesty International. And if Chinese citizens, NGOs and government sciticize the hypocrisy of US energy policy or the current administration's attitude to international treaties and obligations (e.g. Geneva Conventions), then I welcome it.
