Censor's Scissors

Get out of MySpace, bloggers rage at Murdoch - The Independent 08/01/06

Angry members of MySpace, the personal file-sharing website for young adults, are accusing Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation of censoring their postings and blocking their access to rival sites.

The 38 million subscribers to MySpace, which News Corp bought for $629m (355m pounds) last July, discovered that when they wrote to each other about rival video-swapping site YouTube, the words were automatically deleted, and attempts to download video images from YouTube led to blank screens.

Not that suprising given Murdoch's track record. Of course they deny it...... Technorati Tags: Blogging; Censorship; Murdoch
