Gates: Web site censorship doesn't work
Microsoft chairman says users would still distribute banned news
February 2, 2006 12:00 PM ETReuters -
LISBON -- Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates said government attempts to censor Web sites or blogs will fail, since banned information can get out in defiance of official efforts.
The spread of private e-mail means online users can distribute banned news despite government injunctions, he told a press conference yesterday.
"You may be able to take a very visible Web site and say that something shouldn't be there, but if there's a desire by the population to know something, it's going to get out," he said.
However, Gates said Microsoft, the world's biggest computer software company, has to meet the legal requirements of the countries in which it does business.
Microsoft pulled the blog, or Web log, of a critic of the Chinese government in December after receiving a government order to do so.
Brad Smith, Microsoft's chief counsel, said Tuesday that the company is creating rules to deal with government complaints about Web sites and blogs that Microsoft hosts (see "Microsoft revamps blogging policy").
Gates was in Lisbon for a Microsoft-sponsored forum on how to use Internet technology to make the public sector more effective.
