News that Microsoft has joined forces with the Chinese government to ban words such as “democracy” and “human rights” from MSN Spaces, the weblog service it launched in the country last month, set “the blogosphere a-buzzin'”, said Tim Bray at his Ongoing blog (TBray.org). Bray was not alone in condemning the US company for agreeing to “be Beijing’s bitch to buy some bloggers”.
