Microsoft Censors Blogs at Chinese Portal

Microsoft and its government-funded Chinese business partner work with authorities to omit certain forbidden language, Sohn said, declining to provide specific examples.

"I don't have access to the list at this point so I can't really comment specifically on what's there," he told The Associated Press.

On Monday, Agence France-Presse, the French news agency, said bloggers were not allowed to post terms to MSN Spaces such as "democracy," "human rights" and "Taiwan independence." Attempts to enter those words were said to generate a message saying the language was prohibited.

Atta boy, Bill. The repugs have taught you well!
