Totalitarianism's Little Helper

In aid of the grand cause of totalitarianism, Microsoft has banned the terms "freedom," "democracy," and "human rights" from its Chinese portal. If some miscreant attempts to enter such vileness, they receive the following reply: "This item should not contain forbidden speech, such as profanity."

Folly only wishes Microsoft would ban similar "profanity" on its English portal. As of today, you could still enter "Downing Street Memo," "Guantanamo Bay prisoner abuse," and "Tom DeLay corruption" on their site.

But as Scarlet O'Hara once famously said, "Tomorrow is another day."
