Smith, a New Jersey Republican and chairman of a House subcommittee on human rights, plans to hold hearings next month on reports that US Internet companies, including Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp., aid efforts by the government of China to suppress free speech...Smith said such a law [making anticensorshop policies mandatory] is probably the only way to stop US firms from cooperating with overseas censorship. He said that no US company should ever comply with China's political censorship policies, even if it means they lose the right to do business in China. [also refers to Google]
