But

China can't censor the internet without help from american companies.

And the nominees are
US Verso for blocking free internet comm such as skype, VOIP
Cisco Systems inc. for the "great firewall" of china, a marvel of the modern world
Google for just plain censorship of its chinese portal
Yahoo for selling the email records of a journalist who posted the chinese goverments media strategy on the 15th "anniversary" of the Tianmen square massacre, mr. Shi Tao will be spending the next ten years in jail.
and ofcourse; no list would be complete without it;
Microsoft, for blocking and deleting the blog of a media researcher critizing chinese... media...

But
China can't censor the internet without help from american companies.

I beg of you dear reader, do not use products from these companies, alternatives do exist. In fact, do not use american products at all, they are tainted with the blood of the innocent.
