Small China

Pietro — Sat, 25 Feb 2006 12:28:47 +0000

We have all heard the news that do-no-evil Google has accepted to comply with Chinese laws and ban some words from the search results (Google testimony here). More than that China is censoring media, editors, journalist, blogs, and practically any form of free expression. According to this article this censorship is not having the desired [...] Related posts:
