Micorosoft and Freedom
Thanks to Empty is Form for bring to my attention another reason to dislike Microsoft: ‘I would have thought that Microsoft’s $300+ billion market capitalization might have allowed them to put ethics in front of profit. What a message they would have sent to the Chinese government, other corporations and western governments if they would have refused to cater to China’s requirement that they censor MSN China. Unfortunately, the supposed arch-supporter of freedom and democracy has provided another barrier to keep the Chinese people from information related to banned key words such as “freedom”, “democracy” and “human rights.”’
