But as for Yahoo, they made a mistake of having a legal entity in the country, and the scariest part was having Yahoo Vietnam's chief saying that they will obey the Vietnamese law (Vietnamese government don't give out Brownie points for this and Yahoo users are wondering if Yahoo will give out their person account info to the government on demand).Yahoo thought Vietnamese would welcome them with red carpets if the have a physical presence in the country. They are wrong ! Having a legal entity here would only make Yahoo less attractive in terms of privacy and security protection from prying eyes of the government.
