Should a company such as Yahoo Provide user data to a countr

Should a company such as Yahoo! Provide user data to a country like China, even if it is likely to lead to serious consequences for the user? Why or why not?

Solution

A company such as yahoo should provide user data to a country like China only when it has to be used for lawful purposes and a clear request has been made by the government. The company should provide the data only to help catch the convicts. This is because providing the data in such cases can be helpful to find terrorits and criminals who have user accounts on these websites.

Otherwise the company should not provide the user data to the governments and maintain the privacy of its user.
