A week ago he caused an uproar by siding with his company in its decision to censor the MSN Spaces, their weblog service, in banning indecent words like 'democracy' and 'human rights'. Now Scobeleizer says he is sorry:
My wife says I'm wrong.This does not mean that Microsoft turns around, yet.
My son says I'm wrong.
My best friends say I'm wrong.
My book co-author says I'm wrong.
All week long my coworkers
have been coming by and saying I'm wrong.
Dan Gillmor says I'm wrong.
Rebecca MacKinnon says I'm wrong.
Now a bunch of Chinese bloggers
say I'm wrong.
In the face of overwhelming evidence, I admit I'm wrong.
Trying to justify the Chinese MSN word blocker is one of the more boneheaded
things I've done.
Sorry.
