Microsoft partners up with Chinese government to censor blogers
We always new China went to great lengths to block free speech. We just never knew how low free people would sink for a buck.
Microsoft’s MSN Spaces continues to censor its Chinese language blogs, and has become more aggressive and thorough at censorship since I first checked out MSN’s censorship system last summer. On New Years Eve, MSN Spaces took down the popular blog written by Zhao Jing, aka Michael Anti.I am sure they will try to explain that by censoring content they are making the views of those that are censored available to a wider audience since it will not be blocked by the Chinese censors. Wake up Bill.
