—Xiao Qiang, a Chinese internet expert at the University of California at Berkeley, on the story of a former Marriott employee who lost his job after using an official company account to “like” a Twitter posting from a Tibetan separatist group.

Xiao Qiang is the founder and editor-in-chief of the China Digital TImes and an adjunct professor at the School of Information
