The Guardian Books Blog, 4 April 2008
"...A virtual torch of freedom and free expression, crossing continents on fibre-optic threads and microwaves: the irony cannot be lost on Shi Tao. Indeed, it was surely uppermost in the organisers' minds as they cooked up this elegant, cerebral protest. The Chinese knew to arrest Shi Tao because he was using a Yahoo! email account. He may as well have posted his account details direct to the government. Yahoo! did."
