Excerpt from Congressman Christopher Smith’s remarks at the February 15 hearing, in which he compared the practices of some Internet companies with the Holocaust: “Women and men are going to the gulag and being tortured as a direct result of information handed over to Chinese officials. When Yahoo was asked to explain its actions, Yahoo said that it must adhere to local laws in all countries where it operates. But my response to that is: if the secret police a half century ago asked where Anne Frank was hiding, would the correct answer be to hand over the information in order to comply with local laws?”
