MSN FORUMS & CENSORSHIP
Who moderates the moderators on MSN forums?
There is a real danger in the type of subtle censorship that is being used, while any forum is bound to have a few vulgar idiots abuse a site the actions of the moderators on the "RockStar/INXS" site have earned them status equal to Third Reich henchmen,
MSN took a load of critisim for its actions in China but to see them use the same tactics on American websites is an ominous threat. They are removing messages and entire threads that do not violate any rules in their "code of conduct"
Nameless moderators who rewrite forums to fit a hidden agenda are an increasing phenomena on the net and when a corporations as big as MSN endorse such behavior whether thru neglect or motivated by profit, then they are asking for interference from the government on how they run their websites and demands for laws that require complete disclousure is the inevitable result....damn shameful!
