Green Dam Targets Falun Gong and Compromises Security

Concern is rising over a CCP mandate that will require all personal computers sold in China to come with the content-filtering software "Green Dam-Youth Escort" pre-installed.

The CCP claims that Green Dam is a benign program that restricts access to pornography. But analysis of the software has shown that it also blocks access to politically sensitive web content—especially pertaining to Falun Gong.

According to an Epoch Times report, hackers have decrypted the list of banned keywords contained in the software. There are more than six thousand keywords are not related to pornography. The great majority refer to Falun Gong. Also included in the list are references to Tiananmen Square, Tibet, and negative descriptions of the Communist Party.

A team of computer engineers at the University of Michigan has tested Green Dam and found that it also has serious security problems, including that it could allow a user's computer to be controlled by a third party.

We'll keep you updated as more information about Green Dam comes to light.

CCP is just using porn as an excuse to tighten their censorship

[awazha]

hmm didnt see it from this point of view, but now that you mentioned it, your right it DOES make a whole lot of sense .. although it could be argued that with porn, ppl will be too busy jacking off to bother actually messing about with actual sex thus helping curb nation's population?

or maybe the opposite, with more porn, more guys will be come hornier and start fuking more and increase nation's population??

Porn distracts you from manufacturing export products. Lessens your efficiency, and lessens the Chinese Governments income.

Whether by design or not, Google will use the porn spam as an excuse for further censorship here in the United States. We should just start using their channels for our own message boards. They get channel views and there isn't anything there but comments, so I'm sure they get read at times:) Paul Turner
