Amnesty International has launched a scathing attack on Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google for kow-towing to the censorship of the Chinese government. China has 700,000 portals and 111 million web-watchers in its population of 1.3 billion. But officials consider cyberspace to be a hothouse of subversive thought and - with the help of the world's biggest internet providers - it blocks content.' (Independent)
