Kalo di Indo Big Brothernya siapa yah?Microsoft Works With Government To Censor
Chinese Blogs
POSTED: 6:01 am CDT June 14, 2005
SHANGHAI, China -- The Web site may say Microsoft, but in China, Big Brother is
still apparently watching.
Computer users on Microsoft's MSN China portal get a scolding message any time
they type in terms like "democracy," "freedom" or "human rights." The site then
tells them to delete the prohibited words.
Microsoft said it's cooperating with Chinese government efforts to censor
language on blogs in the communist country, noting that's the requirement for
offering services in China.
It's not just politically sensitive words that aren't allowed. Obscenities and
sexual references also are barred.
However, the restrictions appear to apply only to the subject lines that users
type in. Writing them into the text, with a less controversial subject heading,
seems not to be a problem.
