Microsoft censors its blog tool

Reporters Without Borders said it was disgusted to find
that Microsoft was censoring the Chinese version of its
blog tool, MSN spaces, the system automatically
rejecting words including "democracy" and "Dalai Lama".
"Following Yahoo !, here is a second American Internet
giant giving way to the Chinese authorities and agreeing
to self-censorship", the worldwide press freedom
organisation said.
