Why don't Microsoft do some PR with the Chinese government to make Plurk accessible in China again.
- rms 17y agoBecause Microsoft doesn't have that power.
- mrtron 17y agoThey have that kind of bankroll though.
- luchak 17y agoWhat? The Chinese government has issues with sites containing user-generated content. Neither Microsoft nor anyone else can resolve these issues just by throwing money at the problem. Getting Plurk back into China would likely involve making substantial changes to how the site is run: for example, demonstrating that they can and will take down or block posts at the request of the Chinese government within a specific amount of time after the request is made.
