An anonymous reader writes: Several pro-democracy Chinese-Americans from New York are suing Baidu for aiding the PRC in censoring their writings, in violation of the US Constitution and New York civil rights laws. Baidu ADRs trade on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Why is it that China blocks American companies like Facebook and twitter from doing business in China, and yet the US allows companies to trash the rights of Americans while enjoying the benefit of the US market? Does this seem fair to you?
