Microsoft participates in Chinese censorship
BBC: “Weblog entries on some parts of Microsoft’s MSN site in China using words such as “freedom”, “democracy” and “demonstration” are being blocked.
Chinese bloggers already face strict controls and must register their online journal with Chinese authorities.
Microsoft said the company abided by the laws, regulations and norms of each country in which it operates.”
Oh, I’m certain that the “When in Rome” mindset really makes all of this less corrupt.

Is this why we never see the words “War crimes in Fallujah” on the BBC?
