Amnesty: U.S. Net Giants Violate Human Rights Declaration

Amnesty International has accused three of the net’s largest players, among others, of violating the Universal Declaration on Human Rights by cooperating with China’s censors.

Microsoft, Google and Yahoo, and others, are colluding with China’s efforts to censor the internet and are in denial over the human rights implications of their actions - and ignore their own stated commitments - Amnesty said, according to a Reuters report. The rights group said the three companies are in violation of Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which says everyone should be guaranteed freedom of expression.
