Other than the bit I quoted I left out all the sentences both above and below.
I don't agree with this, and as you mentioned im sure China isn't full-disclosure friendly. That being said, its not against the law for two security managers in China to e-mail each other about what kind of IDS signatures they need to use.
I'm just pointing out that the article is wrong, not trying to make excuses for them.
From the article "China's new rules also prohibit use of email to discuss certain vaguely defined subjects related to 'network security' and ' information security', "
From the regulation that the article links to
taking advantage of emails to engage in activities which are detrimental to network and information security is strictly prohibited in accordance with related laws.
There is a big difference between "engaging in activities that are detrimental to information security" and "discussing information security"
But with a title like "China Outlaws Outlook" are you really surprised that they are sensationalizing it.
Gmail would obviously never do this. I don't *think hotmail or yahoo would either. As users get more educated about webmail and spam then they will start making more intelligent decisions over who handles their e-mail.

There is more merit in this case than most would think.
I use search engines to find companies to buy things from all the time. For example, if you want to register a domain name, simply search for "domain name." The major companies are usually listed on the first page but if you look at the ads you can get a better idea of which ones are spending the most on marketing (and will probably be in business for a while) you can also see a quick summary of the prices each charges for this.
That was a specific example, but if you do need to purchase something, the ads can be the most efficient way to see a quick summary of offerings and cost.

This has always been the best place to ask questions.
Has anyone ever used one of these answer services?
Its probably more suited toward generic questions than technical questions.
Seems like niche forums/mailing lists are where most of the action is. Not sure what search engines are trying to accomplish here.
