Unfortunately, faced with a choice between protecting the long-term interests and human rights of their customers and complying with laws implemented by unelected power-holders, technology firms like Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google seem to have embraced the Ah Q spirit. They have made it clear that when it comes to free expression, their priorities lie on the side of surrender.
不幸的是，像微软、雅虎以及Google等技术公司在面临保护其客户的长久利益和人权以及遵守由未经选举产生的当权者实施的法律之间作出选择之时，似乎采纳了阿Q精神。它们表明，在涉及到自由言论的时候，它们的优先考虑在投降方一边。
