Um, “preinstall” in Chinese actually means “bundle”. Take this 6/12 ZDNet article citing WSJ for example:

The end users were never reuqired to install or run Green Dam. As to what Green
Dam will filter, it is configuable by the user.

How can this be twisted into censorship is beyond me. Anti-sinoism perhaps?

If the software is to work with windows, It would be pretty easy to get rid of Green Dam.You get a friend’s computer and make an image of that computer which doesn’t have Green Dam because it has been purchased before July 1st 2009.You can use Acronis True image for that.also make a cd of windows from that computer in case you need to insert the cd at anytime.When you get your new computer all you have to do is to recover the image in your new computer.Acronis will automatically format your disk thus erasing everything on it and you will end up with a pc like your friend’s.After all you have to is install or remove the programs you want.

Hackers of the world….

The time has come again for us to rise against this “Green Dam” censorship software.

Time to find security vulnerabilities in the software and exploit them, and use them against the Chinese Government.

Hackers…. let us be RUTHLESS against the chinese government in our fight against the Censorship of free speech.

Maybe they’ll just ban any site regarding anything about Linux, so most people would not know what it is.

They have to ban Linux and other operating systems where the user is in charge of the system.
