Yahoo Pulls Services Out Of China–It This Just The Beginning?

(China) — Another American tech company is shutting services down in China. Yahoo officially exited the communist country Monday, citing the “increasingly challenging business and legal environment.” Yahoo joins Microsoft’s LinkedIn, which announced last month it was shutting down services in the country due to a “more challenging operating environment.” China’s Personal Information Protection Law went into effect Monday, imposing new data-collection restrictions for tech companies. China’s “Great Firewall” is used to censor online content, with major services such as Google and Facebook blocked.
