Green Dam Update



The Chinese government has decided to amend its approach to Green Dam. Now the software is only compulsory for school computers and those that are in public places, i.e. internet cafes. The reason for the climb down seems to be a combination of security issues with the software, and protests linked to certain censored websites.
