LinkedIn agrees to obey Chinese masters' censorship demands
"LinkedIn Expands in China With Local Site Limiting Content"
http://j.mp/1h8kxLL (Businessweek)
"LinkedIn Corp. (LNKD:US) is establishing a Chinese-language
website that will restrict some content to adhere to state
censorship rules, moving to expand in a country where U.S.
technology companies have clashed with the government ... The new
website puts LinkedIn deeper into a country where social-media
peers such as Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc. are blocked after
they balked at government censorship rules. Facebook hasn't built
up operations in China beyond hiring contractors to help
advertisers reach people outside of the country, spokeswoman
Debbie Frost has said. Google ran afoul of Chinese authorities in
2010 for refusing to abide by local censorship requirements,
leading to the company shutting its unfiltered search tools there
and redirecting users to pages in Hong Kong."
