China censorship: what now?

Rebecca McKinnon: China censorship: what now?

So now what? I hope that this draft legislation will be the beginning of a long and constructive process. I would like to see detailed analysis from all potentially affected U.S. technology companies as to whether they think this legislation would enable them to continue doing business in China, but more ethically.

Rebecca, a friend and a fellow at the Berkman Center, is someone I look to for a savvy and moral international perspective on these issues. I'm with her here, too: We need a smart cross-industry or government approach to conducting business in China rather than the current go-it-alone approach.
