Jimmy shows the way
 Google caved, as did Microsoft, Yahoo and others before them, but Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia has refused to censor Wikipedia for the Chinese government. It's all or nothing for Wikipedia - we should applaud his stance.  A piece in the Observer today - Wikipedia defies Chinese censors - also highlights the 'irrepresible.info' campaign run jointly by Amnesty International and the Observer. The site offers a pointer to a piece of javascript that displays random excerpts from material that has been censored somewhere in the world - see the result in my left sidebar.
