OT: Microsoft and China

Microsoft censors words like Freedom and Democracy

I understand there are business considerations in all decisions like this and likewise the ultimate responsibility is a fiduciary one before the investment community but this really bothers me. All that talk about Microsoft and moral courage in the face of a state bill which extends specific and special rights to a certain minority group already protected as part of general anti-discrimination laws. Now a test of real courage and nothing.

Respect lost.
