Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) has some questions for Apple. And for Twitter. And for Oracle, Amazon, AT&T, Cisco, Facebook, Skype, and eBay. What are their "human rights practices in China"?

It made me wonder about Skype in China, when they've resisted all Fed approaches to opening up their tech to scrutiny :)
