Yahoo’s Human Wrongs: The Tech Giant’s Forgotten Promises and the Chinese Dissidents Crying Foul

The tech dinosaur’s Human Rights Fund, or as some might call it, the “Human Wrongs Fund”, is under fire for alleged mismanagement. Yahoo, you’ve got mail, and it’s a lawsuit from the victims demanding a new humanitarian fund.
