I don't think that companies like Daqi should be allowed to hide information that a blogger posts. It kind of destroys the whole point of a blog in the first place.
People use blogs to vent their emotions and to speak out for what they think is right and if companies go around taking those liberties away from them then they might as well take away blogging all together. Also, I don't think these corporations should be hiring these companies; it puts out a negative vibe among their blog-using customers.
Overall, I see the good that companies such as Daqi are trying to do, however, I think they should do so with a little more appreciation of what blogging actually is. For example: Let us say that some blogger is venting his anger against Coca-Cola because that man only got five drinks when he clearly wanted a six-pack. He posts: We should all boycott Coca-Cola cause they are mean. Daqi finds this post in their search and instead of forcefully taking it off the web, they should work with the blogger on rewriting the post, giving him his sixth soda which he was so wrongfully deprived of, and then leave it be. This way Daqi doesn't offend any bloggers and Coca-Cola doesn't lose any business.
The scary part is is that companies such as Daqi work in the United States as well. Is it possible that my faux post "We should all boycott Coca-Cola cause they are mean" would be noticed and taken as real? Would I actually get that sixth soda? Honestly, if someone tried to remove one of my posts I will e-mail them a nice copy of the Bill of Rights.
