Microsoft Violates Human Rights in China

gexen writes "According to this article in The Guardian, 'Amnesty believes Microsoft is in violation of a new United Nations Human Rights code for multinationals which says businesses should 'seek to ensure that the goods and services they provide will not be used to abuse human rights'. The article basically states that 'Gate's firm supplied technology used to trap Chinese dissidents'."

It is slanderous

But you gotta consider the source. Amnesty International is a wacko organization. In a wierd way it reminds me of some way out Far Right Christian Fundamentalist political groups.

Amnesty

Amnesty say all kinds of things. And most of them are complete rubbish.

So pretty much Gates an MicroSoft are evil because they made Windows and people use it to go on the internet sometimes, and some of those people commit crimes on the internet.

Yes!

haven't you watched how the anti-gun nuts use that same stance to sue gun manufacturers and make it extremely difficult for legitimate gun buyers to buy guns?

how about the stigma assigned by the anti-gun-nuts to us gun owners because of this? If we are instantly guilty for the actions of a few idiots and morons then Microsoft is instantly guilty.

You cant have it both ways.

hmm

i like it when leftists complain about MS voilating human rights in china and not the Chinese communist gov. I think people are ignoring the main thing here becasue it looks bad for their side. Simply put a leftist gov in china is voilating human rights.
