LinkedIn to be self censored in China

I got a notification of a modification of the LinkedIn Terms of Service today.
You do not find any reference to censorship in the mail, but if you follow the links in the mail you can see that they have launched a beta version in Chinese. Linked in was previously only available in English in China.
If you follow the link to the user agreement you now find:
LinkedIn may be required by local laws to remove certain information or content and so that information or content may not be available on our Service in those countries.
LinkedIn clearly does not want to risk complete blocking, like Twitter today in Turkey, or Google earlier in China.

New pests: featured news

Seems it is a new trend for service oriented sites to push at the top of their service a list of featured news they decided you want to see.

• LinkedIn Pulse: 

• How to get rid of it using adblock plus

• my.yahoo aggregated home page now headlines featured news. 
• In their tablet oriented redesign you can't have closed gadgets anymore either.
• Time to move on: I relocated my home page to igHome. Liking it: good service with plenty of gadgets. They have tabbed aggregator pages  (which comes close to closed gadgets).
