Outspoken? Do not use MSN Spaces for Blogging
From Boingboing:
Microsoft’s MSN Spaces continues to censor its Chinese language blogs, and has become more aggressive and thorough at censorship since I first checked out MSN’s censorship system last summer. On New Years Eve, MSN Spaces took down the popular blog written by Zhao Jing, aka Michael Anti. Now all you get when you attempt to visit his blog [Link] is the error message pictured above. (You can see the Google cache of his blog up until Dec.22nd here.)I wonder what my Classical Liberal friends from Indian blogs have to say about this one!
...
Note, his blog was TAKEN DOWN by MSN people. Not blocked by the Chinese government.

I am Classical Liberal. What are you?
I don't think any of your "Classical LIberal" friends use MSN. That is a small statement in itself don't you think. I assure you it is unintentional atleast on my part. I would exhort the Chinese bloggers to move to Blogger.com or other sites that have explicit no-censorship policies.
There are no saints. Perhaps Blogger might start censoring some sites, once more of Google's revenue comes from China, and the Chinese government makes its displeasure about no-censorship apparent .
Also there are many like minded Chinese bloggers you can still read who will agree that the government should protect society from liberty. Because that is what the Chinese government claims it is doing.
Me, NHB. I agree there are no saints, neither in govt nor in the private sector.
So I am an abnormal human being? What is a Normal Human Being? What is the norm for being a human?
I do not know what you are! Heck do not get me philosophical "who am I" "why am I here" "where do I go from here?" I do not know all this.
