A senior EC official has criticised hi-tech firms for helping China silence its domestic critics.

In a blog entry, EC vice president Margot Wallstroem said Microsoft, Yahoo and Google were matching their morals to suit new markets.

In particular she said the firms seemed to have deleted words such as “ethics” and “corporate social responsibility” from their codes of conduct.
