Chinese Blogosphere on Web2.0(Jan2nd-9th)

MSN Space & Censorship

MSN Space took down blog of Zhaojing (a.k.a Anti), a journalist blogger, who was out-spoken on some sensitive political issues. Rebecca Mackinnon reported the issue with more follow-up links. She also raised the question of corporate responsibility for internet companies. Issac Mao, founder of CNBlog, called people to “say no to MSN Space”. Robert Scoble expressed his anger and personal opinion on this matter. Now Anti has moved to Blog-City, which would not censor his content as it was based in US. But readers in mainland China are inaccessible to the new blog.

the network.
