..and who's helping Chinese gov. do all that???
by mzs_biteme October 10, 2007 12:09 PM PDT: Article fails to mention that some of the biggest US companies like Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Cisco, and others are all lending Chinese government a "helping hand" by suppliying equipment and software to do all that monitoring... Business as usual, and hypocrisy at it's best....; Reply to this comment View reply

DMCA same thing
by gggg sssss October 10, 2007 3:06 PM PDT: How is this different from DMCA takedowns, kiddie pron busts, phishing takedowns, hate speach takedowns, spam shutdowns, YouTube takedowns, homeless security montoring etc etc. $220,000 fines for putting music on the net. Just a different set of people claiming they are right and others are morally wrong. It can, is happening here too.

Now, I hapoen to agree with some of our censors mor ethan theirs, but that is just different shades of teh same thing.; Reply to this comment View reply
