Chinese state media has responded to international reports that China had backed down from implementing its Green Dam filtering software onto all new computers sold in the country. The new law was originally set to be implemented from today.
"Despite a last-minute delay in implementing Green Dam, China's authorities and its PC manufacturers said Wednesday they expect the tool will end up on new computers," China Daily writes.
The newspaper reports that, despite the postponement, an unnamed source from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology confirmed "The government will definitely carry on the directive on Green Dam. It's just a matter of time."
China Daily adds that "Domestic PC giants, including Lenovo Group, Tsinghua Tongfang, Founder Technology Group and Haier Group, said Wednesday they will 'install the filter as they were told.' But some manufacturers have included a disclaimer with new PCs, saying they would not be responsible for damage caused by Green Dam."
