Yahoo is a US company and they turned over information about bloggers to the Chinese government, resulting in lengthly jail time for posters to the Yahoo blog site. A little bit of pressure and offers of access to the largest batch of internet users in the world and morality goes out the window.
Nobody said you are evil. I think that many of us are not supportive of the web-model, having seen it abused too many times. It just seems better to have your services off-line. Protects you from liability issues and makes it easier for your users.
