My Way News - China backpedals on filtering software order
AP reports: "A Ministry of Industry and Information Technology official told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Chinese computer users are not required to use or install the Green Dam Youth Escort software - though the software will still come pre-installed or be included on a compact disc with all PCs sold on the mainland from July 1."

Comment: Very clever, I'm sure there will be some percentage of user who will voluntarily use the software and that, over time, that percentage will grow as users becomes accustomed to the idea.
