Slashdot: Bloggers Test New MS China Filter
A meme in it's own right (and something I've mentioned here a couple of times), this whole MSN Spaces Chinese blogging censorship issue continues it's own saga. This is an interesting twist, however.

It seems that MSN rejected titling a new blog 'I love freedom of speech, human rights, and democracy' (in Chinese) because 'The title must not contain prohibited language, such as profanity.' MacKinnon managed to use a workaround and got a pro-freedom blog up, for the moment."
