Tom Raftery reports that China is blocking Technorati. I agree with Tom, the search engines need to group together to figure out a “China strategy”, and take into account China’s human rights violations in their quest for profits.

I dont understand whats wrong in allowing a site like technorati.
I think they dont understand the functionality of technorati
China is really getting out of hand. What really really ticked me off was Yahoo! handing in that guy to the Chinese government just because he had a questionable email in his drafts folder. It’s made me step back have another look at this behemoth of a company.
Well…they did took it into account. And the conclusion was that is less precious than profit
something´s going wrong in the world. what do china think about human rights (or the right for information)???
usa gov and corps want trade/money from china nothing else, china’s policies haven’t changed and yet people are treating them as if they have entered the free world.
the only strategy that search engine businesses will figure out is how to make money with the restrictions inplace.
China is violating human rights in a quest for profits?
thats how I read it the first time, I need sleep
This ‘china strategy’ has been accomplished with google. They have certain filtering on their services for china. The U.S. can go to the chinese google, and won’t see ANYTHING like the Chinese do. Good for google though, being kind enough to support communism.
