Freedom not to be free

..I guess that's what Robert Scoble of Microsoft was thinking, when trying to defend the fact that MSN Spaces - Microsoft's blogging service - rejects posts from China with words like 'freedom' and 'democracy' in the text, essentially playing ball with the authorities there for short-term business gain (maybe, if they're lucky). Ex CNN journalist Rebecca MacKinnon slays the guy.

The last of all freedoms is one's mind, and without the ability to express ourselves, what use is an identity?

Freedom - you can't beat a concept that's been around since the beginning of time.
