US Internet companies snub Congressional hearing
From AFP, via BREITBART.COM:
The leading US-based Internet companies are showing little interest in attending a Congressional briefing on worries that the firms are bending to the wishes of China’s censors.
Microsoft and Cisco Systems have refused to attend the event, while Google and Yahoo are non-committal, officials said.
The firms were asked to attend the February 1 briefing by the Congressional Human Rights Caucus following uproar caused by search giant Google’s decision last week to censor websites and content banned by China’s propaganda chiefs.
