Web firms criticised over China

"Internet firms have been criticised by UK MPs for 'collaborating' with state censorship of the web in China.

"Businesses such as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo blocking some information was "morally unacceptable", the Commons foreign affairs committee said.

"The MPs also called on the government to put pressure on China to relax its restrictions on the internet.

"Their comments came in a wide-ranging report on east Asia which also attacked China's record on human rights."
