Rebecca MacKinnon of Global Voices is staying on Microsoft’s case about the Chinese Democracy issue. She’s aggregating some Chinese blogger response to Scoble and Dare and Microsoft in general:
“Hopesome (legally registered in Fujian) reprimands Scoble: “China doesn’t have a single law or regulation saying that sensitive words like “democracy” and “freedom” should be forbidden.”
If that’s a fact, it means that MSN Spaces is just encouraging forcing Chinese bloggers to censor themselves.
Isaac Mao is calling for a boycott of MSN Spaces, which is clearly easier than a boycott of Microsoft.
Let me know when companies that sell newsprint start telling newspapers what they can call themselves.
I’ve been listening to the podcasts/Skypecasts that Global Voices has started putting together: check out Rebecca’s conversation with Isaac Mao here (32min/15MB).
