Microsoft Bans 'Democracy' and 'Freedom' from MSN China

[Jim]

So tell me, hypothetically...
And of course this will never happen. But, The Chinese government tells you they will tell all the people in the country to buy a membership at your porn site as long as you never mention democracy or freedom.

Would you do it?

case closed

not to mention freedom and democracy don't seem to stand for the same things that they use to

Something left out of the original post - if you scroll down to the bottom of the original article -
"According to reports, the restriction has only been applied to the titles of blogs and not the content itself, so it is not yet a total ban."

Also - Google, Yahoo and MSN have been censoring news, web search results and directory listings for as long as I can remember - and not just in China - heck in France and Germany they dont get to see what the governments think is in-appropriate like sites about "revisionism" or white supremecy
Google has censored the results for the keyword "sex" in the english language results to provide PG rated results for the US for 2 years now - its funny cause if you change the language preference to traditional Chinese you get to see the real results for "sex"

Here's a real world example:
lets search for sex :
In the US, UK, Ca, Oz and plenty of European countries - these are the results you get:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search - note the lack of any porn sites in the top 20

Now do the same search using the Simplified Chinese language and look through the top 20 there
http://www.google.com/search?hl=zh-C...=Google+Search

Amazing how a country that we all call censored has more access to porn than surfers in the "free world"
