Censured for Censorship in China

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-think-about dept.

Dwarg writes "On Aug. 10, [Human Rights Watch], headquartered in New York, came out with a report criticizing the three companies for their role helping to censor the Internet in China. The report is particularly damning of Yahoo, which Human Rights Watch says censors its Chinese site far more vigorously than either Google or Microsoft."

    Sorry, but it's hard to take an article seriously if the editors come up with titles like this:

    Search Engines Censured for Censorship.

    Read it aloud and try not to giggle.

    I dunno man, I don't see how there could be any problem handling Chinese political refugees. I mean, how many Chinese people can there be?
