Over the past few years, Cisco has willingly and knowingly participated in the suppression of free speech in mainland China via the so-called Great Firewall of China. While they are by no means alone in their cravenly actions (they are joined by Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google), their cooperation with the repressive regime is by far the most extensive.
Some of Cisco’s shareholders are (rightfully) miffed at this disgusting pursuit of profits over morals and have decided to call Cisco on the carpetat the next shareholders’ meeting. I can only hope that Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google, publically-traded companies all, are forced to endure such treatment at their respective meetings as well.
