MSN China censors words and phrases, including 'freedom' - Jun. 14, 2005
"SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp.'s new MSN China Internet venture is censoring words such as 'freedom,' 'democracy' and 'human rights' on its free online journals, Microsoft said Tuesday, putting itself in the middle of a major Web controversy.
The world's largest software maker said that its 'MSN Spaces' service operated out of China, which allows users to set up their own blogs, or online journals, was acting in accordance with local laws.
'MSN abides by the laws, regulations and norms of each country in which it operates,' said Brooke Richardson, MSN lead product manager." (more at link)
To crack into the lucrative developing Chinese market, more and more companies are going to find they will have to compromise to get to play.
