internet - Amnesty takes on Yahoo, Google, Microsoft

Rebecca points me in the direction of this report by Amnesty International (a pdf-file), focusing on the involvement of Yahoo, Google and Microsoft in the way China tries to censor the internet.
Initial media reports raised my fear this would be yet another exercise in moral indignation by paid activists, who are sitting in comfortable offices far away from China.
I just went over the report, and I must say the report goes far beyond that rather unproductive moral indignation. Its suggested list of standards for IT-companies that work in China offers a good basis to give this whole discussion a more realistic foundation. Worth a solid discussion.
