China: Global Network Initiative is monitoring developmnents with the govt required content control software

[global network initiative] "The Global Network Initiative is actively monitoring developments regarding the Chinese government’s directive that requires computer manufacturers to install the Green Dam/Youth Escort content control software. This directive is ostensibly intended to protect children from sexually explicit content, but in fact raises particular challenges for companies in the technology sector that also have a responsibility to respect human rights. The Global Network Initiative offers operational guidance and a credible system for companies to respond to these challenges."
