Sovereignty
I go with the 2001 ruling, for the most part: an exception might be if Yahoo was smuggling its posts - but it is not, French people are by connecting to non-French sites.

Too, this has been claimed equal to recent blockings of Chinese bloggers. Nope, sorry Register and others, while I think the Chinese orders incorrect, the orders affected actions completely within that country. The blocks affect subsidiaries within China.

On the other hand, yes. As the blocking in China was within China, as the article notes so Yahoo.FR has complied with the French law - within France. If French citizens decide to go to Yahoo.AU, .US, .UK, or whatever, then they may be breaking the law - but Yahoo is not.
