Chinese porn blocker killed off
,----[ Quote ]
| It's not certain whether the Middle Kingdom's U-turn was brought about by
| public pressure (incredibly unlikely), security fears (significantly more
| likely) or the impending threat of legal action over copyright infringement
| (ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!), but it seems that Green Dam will
| no longer be forcefully installed on every single computer manufactured in or
| imported to China.

China Congratulates EU on AT&T's Amendments Being Accepted to the Telecoms
Package

| For example, Wikipedia has always been a source of headache for the Chinese
| government and the Copyright Enforcers alike. Entries such as Falun Gong, the
| IP filtering notes about AT&T, and AACS encryption key are very unfriendly to
| us, and therefore harm the society, since we represent the interest of the
| entire society. With these amendments, we can better prevent the spread of
| such harmful information to the society.
