Microsoft censors blogs at Chinese Portal
AP: Microsoft is cooperating with China's government to censor the company's newly launched Chinese-language Web portal, a spokesman for the tech giant said.
On Monday, Agence France-Presse, the French news agency, said bloggers were not allowed to post terms to MSN Spaces such as "democracy,""human rights" and "Taiwan independence." Attempts to enter those words were said to generate a message saying the language was prohibited. ...China's estimated online population is 87 million, second only to the United States.
