Well I don't think China could force Yahoo! to give up info. So if they
are so willing to give it, why wouldn't they be willing to give info to
some silly group who may one day decide to get a hair up their ass about
the practice of BDSMers? (not to mention folks who don't even practice,
but who are just interested in information) What about folks who are
interested in talking about software security issues? Didja read about
the guy in China who got 11 years for downloading and printing out pro-democracy
info?

I'm confused about what you're confused about.
