The Chinese government has mandated that all computers in the country must have the screening software installed. It is intended to filter out offensive material from the net. The Chinese government said that the Green Dam Youth Escort software, as it is known, was intended to push forward the “healthy development of the internet” and “effectively manage harmful material for the public and prevent it from being spread.”

    Without offensive material, they wouldn't know what freaks roam around the world, and what they do.

    I just use Freedur to bypass the firewall anyway… it works great. I tried most of the others but they are slow and trouble some.

    So RLSLog is posting material from ZitZot, which has shamelessly copied the article wholesale from the BBC?

    FAIL on every level.

    Most people will just find a way to ether bypass the filtering or find a way to disable it. The chinese government is just being controlling jackasses.

    Actually most people won't find a way to bypass it. Maybe most rlslog visitors can manage, but majority of people won't be able to.
