China's Green Dam is demolished

jsse writes: The Green Dam Project, a China Government sponsored censorware, has quietly closed its Beijing office last month, and its remaining Zhengzhou office is going into surviving mode due to insufficient funding to support the normal operation. The Green Dam project secured 4.17M Renminbi (1 RMB = 0.147691 USD) from the Government in 2008 but has never received further injection since. Aiming at "stop the poisoning of children's minds", China Government was mandating all PC sold in China preinstalled Green Dam. The policy has been heavily debated inside and outside of the country which forced the Government to postpone the execution of the policy last year. More than 20 millions PCs installed Green Dam will not receive further 'support and update'.
