Silicon Valley needs to brought to heel.

In a March 1 release, Microsoft is warning customers using Office, Xbox, Skype, and other products that the company is prohibiting offensive language and inappropriate content starting on May 1.

“Don’t publicly display or use the Services to share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence, or criminal activity),” Microsoft warns in a portion of their new codes of conduct.

Microsoft also added that the company plans on “investigating” users who are accused of violating the new policy and will block content from being sent to other people.

So will they have monitors watching 24/7 to make sure nobody says something “bad” on Skype? And so nobody uses the service for cyber sex?

Also, Office? Does that mean nobody can use the Office suite to write stories that involve sex, violence and un-PC dialogue?

Who decides what is offensive?
