[re:] the AFP on China asking him to censor Wordpress and expose info about bloggers in return for unblocking the site (via nickdouglas, mikehudack)

Good for him and WordPress. Integrity and ethics are more important than dollars and traffic. (We’re blocked in China, too, and have no plans to cooperate with the Chinese government to censor and punish their citizens.)

Kudos to Tumblr, Wordpress or any other web service provider that shuns accepting Chinese terms of doing business. And shame on Google, Yahoo, and others (extending to all software and hardware providers) who assent to Chinese requests for censorship and worse, calls to help them finger dissenters.
