Another weird idea buried in the original AP quote: "...developers create controversial Web sites offensive to corporations." (emphasis added). There can't be anything offensive to a corporation -- taking offense is something only people do.
The anthropomorphizing of corporations in the media is ubiquitous and misleading; it makes far too much of something that is just a legal device. Think about how the message changes if you read "...people working for a company..." instead of "corporations", or "people working at Microsoft" instead of Microsoft.
