Shame On You Cisco!

And Google. And Yahoo!

So Google and Yahoo are involved in concealing search results in China that might reveal “undesirable” things the Chinese regime doesn’t want its people to see. And now I hear that Cisco is helping the same lovely regime lay more bricks in its Great Firewall?

WTF?

Nice Cisco, keep selling your technology and continue strengthening China’s internet censorship system. That’s exactly what we need.

I’m glad those companies are getting questioned in DC for such ludicrous behavior.

From what I could gather, the Cisco presentation was made by a low-level Chinese employee with extreme patriotic tendencies. He didn’t really manage to “sell” the idea to anyone.

Gotta admit, I only dug thoroughly through the links just now.

I’m subscribed to a newsletter which sent me that link and implied that Cisco did what I mentioned above and hence is now being investigated.

My bad. Although Yahoo and Google certainly can’t get away. They’re clearly guilty of helping China censor stuff online.
