Updated: 2009-06-15 17:57 The authorities are only requiring PC makers to include the porn-filtering software, the Green Dam-Youth Escort program, in their products and not making it mandatory for consumers to use the filter, officials said Monday.
PC users have the "final say" over installing the filter and recent reports of the government compelling them to use the software was "a misunderstanding", the official said. "The government only provides the Green Dam-Youth Escort software for free." |
