"Yahoo ... offers 'disputed territory' as an option for users creating a new account, but won't actually register a new account if users choose that option. It does allow users to say they are from Taiwan -- which China considers a renegade province and is not represented at the United Nations -- and the 'Occupied Palestinian Territories.'
