Dam Burst Tool Disables China's Green Dam Censorware 40
An anonymous reader writes "The infamous Green Dam censorship software has suffered yet another blow. As ZDNet explains, Dam Burst, a tool released by security researcher Jon Oberheide, allows unprivileged users to disable the censorware by removing the hooks that enable it to monitor and block user activity, effectively restoring running applications to their original uncensored state. While the Dam Burst software is currently available at Oberheide's website, community mirrors will undoubtedly be necessary to avoid blocking by the Great Firewall."

Yes, but ubuntu is free open-source software and no-one in China knows what "Free" or "Open" mean.
You are a dumb-ass. Not to mention a bigot.
My comment was aimed at the consequences of the repressive politics of China, not it's people, so please don't think of me as a bigot. I am grateful for the freedoms and open-ness of our society, and I merely chose to express my view through irony.
