China clarifies web filter plans

Protests have forced China to clarify whether net-filtering software has to be used on every new PC. From July, every PC sold in China was supposed to be supplied with the Green Dam Youth Escort software.
The software was created to stop people looking at "offensive" content such as pornographic or violent websites.
