In the light of China's recent outrages in Tibet -- not to mention its ongoing Web censorship -- I urge all who care about human liberty to boycott WWW2008 in Beijing.

The theme of the conference is "One World, One Web." China's Great Firewall is the antithesis of this claim.

I've left a comment to this effect at the conference workshop blog. Any bets on how long it stays up? It vanished some time this afternoon, within twelve hours of my posting it. I'm a little surprised it stayed up for the first hour. It's sad, though inevitable given the venue, that W3C is collaborating with Chinese censorship.
