Article Abstract:

Internet companies such as Yahoo Inc. and Lycos Inc. have set up offices in Asia recently, localizing and self-regulating content on Asian websites in order to appease local governments. While avoiding clashes with the authoritarian governments of countries such as China, Malaysia, and Singapore, local users are feeling frustrated by censorship, citing the Internet as the promise of global free speech.
