Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog

Microsoft Corp. has shut down the Internet journal of a Chinese blogger that discussed politically sensitive issues including a recent strike at a Beijing newspaper... Microsoft's China-based Web log-hosting service shut down the blog at the Chinese government's request, said Brooke Richardson, group product manager with Microsoft's MSN online division... David Wolf, a Beijing-based technology consultant, said that...Chinese Internet services routinely exercise similar censorship. "...there is nothing that Microsoft and Yahoo have to do that is any different from what Chinese companies already are doing." [also refers to Google]
