They have left the door open for a new large company to come and replace them in the US and other countries...I hope the larger companies with this type of ability are paying attention.

that's why flickr has recently implimented very harsh filters on all of thier content. This makes the rest of the world loole its freedom of speech. Waits for another site to come along and replace flickr. I don't believe the rest of the world will be ok with this kind of censorship.

Why is it that Western media are so fixated with Tianenmen - you had to highlight THAT picture of all the ones available and more relevant to the Chinese. The Chinese have moved on from that despite Western attempts to constantly politicize every Chinese development in order to use it as a stick to beat them up.

max, you're chronically full of shit. do you lipsynch for CCTV9 by any chance ?

moving on implies a certain coming to terms with the situation and lessons being learned etc, as in "yeah she dumped me, i was an asshole, but it's in the past, i've got a new girl now and i'm not going to make the same mistake with her". that's moving on.

but what's happened in China is a whitewash. many of the younger generation don't know it even happened. there's a certain consesus that the tank image was photoshopped. the whole episode is being written out of history because it tarnishes the record of the late great Deng Xiaoping, who saved CVhina from maoism. if there is any consolation it's that as China find's it's new hero, the horrors of Mao's later reign may be allowed to be exposed in greater depth. a

but the big hypocracy in all this is that the Chinese government ion the absence of any other ideology to bind the country together is actively fanning the flames of xenophobia, directed at Japan, on the back of one or two Japanese history books that are (rightly ?)percieved to minimise the destructive role Japan played in WWII, or in the Chinese War against Japanese Aggression, to give the war it's official Sino-centric title.

As for soft porn (now, why didn't you show such a pic instead?, there are loads of Chinese sites that purvey that already as there are ways to keep under the radar here.

The real question is will Yahoo censor this like Google did with their search engine?
