I remember a week or so ago I was arguing with a few people here at DP about the great loveably Bill and Melinda Gates, and how their research into Malaria and giving money to African countries was just a joke. Well check this out. The American company Microsoft is now helping China repress its internet and not allow Chinese students to post their blogs. Microsoft claims their doing it to "follow the regulations of the communist nation." BS. Microsoft just knows China is a huge market and they can't afford to not kiss the governments ass over there. All you Bill Gates lovers check this out yourselves, if you have the guts to read it:http://prisonplanet.com/articles/january2006/050106Microsoft.htm I better post this in my blog.
Sorry for being a contradiction but if I were in Microsoft's position, I would bury the blog in a heartbeat.
Why let a little distraction like free speech get in the way of a few billion dollars. Ahhh Gates, such a philanthopist.
