View at BBC NEWS
A senior EC official has criticised hi-tech firms for helping China silence its domestic critics.
In a blog entry, EC vice president Margot Wallstroem said Microsoft, Yahoo and Google were matching their morals to suit new markets.
In particular she said the firms seemed to have deleted words such as 'ethics' and 'corporate social responsibility' from their codes of conduct.
She urged the companies to re-discover their responsibilities.
Ms Wallstroem wrote her comments after learning about the lengths Microsoft, Yahoo and Google have gone to in order to accommodate the wishes of the Chinese government.
