[ NNSquad ] Bill Gates Defends Microsoft Complicity in Chinese Censorship
Bill Gates Defends Microsoft Complicity in Chinese Censorship http://bit.ly/8lkNLT (Guardian) Gates characterizes China's attempts to stifle dissent on the Internet as "very limited" since "it's easy to go around it." (Just don't get caught, right Bill?) Meanwhile, MS CEO Steve Ballmer compared participating in Chinese censorship to buying oil from our friends in Saudi Arabia (you remember them, the ones who just sentenced a 13 year old girl to 90 lashes in front of her classmates for a ruckus that developed over a cell phone). Microsoft's apparent slogan going forward when it comes to large-scale censorship related to human rights abuses: "We Wink at Evil." --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
