Wikipedia Won't Bow to Chinese Censors
truthsearch writes "Jimmy Wales has defied the Chinese government by refusing to bow to censorship of politically sensitive Wikipedia entries. He challenges other internet companies, including Google, to justify their claim that they could do more good than harm by co-operating with Beijing. Wikipedia has been banned from China since last October. Whereas Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo went into the country accepting some restrictions on their online content, Wales believes it must be all or nothing for Wikipedia. 'We occupy a position in the culture that I wish Google would take up, which is that we stand for the freedom for information.'"
...the mountain cannot bow to it.
(sorry, I have a 4 year old. These damned disney films just burrow into your mind even after a few partial viewings)
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
yeah, and they thought the Manhattan project's test at Trinity might spark a chain reaction consuming the entire planet.
Reminds me of the episode on Lexx where "type 13" planets invariably destroyed themselves while attempting to determine the mass of Higgs boson particle (the experiment inadvertently results in the planet being collapsed into a pea-sized object).
There is much cruelty in the universe, John.
Yeah, we seem to have the tour map.
