Microsoft Censoring Blogs on MSN China 316
jdfox writes "The BBC is reporting that Microsoft is censoring blogs on MSN China. The words 'freedom', 'democracy' and 'demonstration' are reportedly among the words being blocked.
But the article also points out that Microsoft is not the first corporation to censor content when the Chinese government requests it." Slashdot covered this story a few days ago too.

I bet they only use linux for the good stuff, and then they switch over to a MS box when they need to do some oppressing.

Slashdot begins to censore words and phrases too.
'dupe', 'first post' and 'in soviet russia...' are of limits now.
