Internet giants Yahoo, Microsoft and Google were today challenged to reveal which words they have banned from blogs and Web searches in China. Amnesty International has accused the companies of "corporate complicity" in suppressing the internet in the Communist state. The human rights organisation also urged customers to use the companies' online feedback forms to call for changes to the way they operate in China. Amnesty UK director Kate Allen said: "Yahoo, Microsoft and Google have all facilitated or colluded in China's censorship of the net. "They claim they are obeying local laws when in fact they are succumbing to political pressure." She added: "We want them to hear from customers here in the UK. "If enough people tell them that they're not happy with their actions in China, we hope it will make them think again." Gregory S.
