MSN Gives in to China Censorship
Published by Picturesque on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 at 8:23 AM.
MSN seems to be complying with China's demands for censorship. Banning such words as freedom and democracy, the Chinese population will get an error message that sounds like you just searched for a dirty word. This follows Yahoo! and Google who have also made the same decision. It was a choice of comply or don't do business there. Again, money speaks louder than morals. On the plus side, there are other ways to word ideas so they do get through the filters...perhaps. Wanted: A few good spammers to break these filters.
