China's 'Green Dam' Software Program Near Collapse 46
katarn writes "Apparently domestic and international pressure, security vulnerabilities, and a $2.2B lawsuit over alleged stolen code have taken their toll on China's Green Dam software censorship program. Green Dam is a separate program from the 'Great Firewall of China,' which remains firmly in place. According to Green Dam program partners, funding for the project has not been renewed. The project development team has been shut down and the installation and aftercare team is facing closure. Unsurprisingly there has been no official comment from official Chinese authorities."

Actually, the government did try to respond, but unfortunately Green Dam blocked it. Some sort of obscenity issue, apparently.

China green software? What is this supposed to mean? I don't understand. Are you saying I should uninstall Green Dam?

In most places that would mean it was out of business. In China it means that, tragically, the developers died in a plane crash after forgetting to put fuel in the tank.
