Red China and the Internet
Microsoft is participating in Chineese internet censorship. Not really surprising. A number of large American companies are complicit in helping Red China turn the internet into a state-run media.
So it's worth noting that there's nothing magical and free about TCP/IP networking (the tech that powers the net). If we let it happen, governments and corporations will ruin what we've potentially got going here.
The more I think about it, the more I want to get an organization together to take a stand on these kinds of issues: internet freedom, outsourcing, open-sourcing, etc.
