BBC: Microsoft censors Chinese blogs

Sge Kri10 270405171557 00 Quicklook 245X149 From the BBC:

Weblog entries on some parts of Microsoft’s MSN site in China using words such as “freedom”, “democracy” and “demonstration” are being blocked.

Chinese bloggers already face strict controls and must register their online journal with Chinese authorities.

Microsoft said the company abided by the laws, regulations and norms of each country in which it operates.

The censorship is thought to have been introduced as a concession to the Chinese government.
