Yahoo! Among Other, Protecting Human Rights

[ryanmac]

Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, and Vodafone swear to help protect human right over the net. They all together, in initiation of international human rights groups tapping to these Internet giants, will help draft a set of rules that Internet companies can use when they are faced with laws and policies that can be of conflict in promotion of human rights.

It cannot be denied that technology and modernization can be used as a tool in oppressing the people. A single phone wire can be tapped and someone loses his right of privacy or a reckless monitoring of a legitimate online activity.

United Nations also expresses support of this program.
