I don't see anything green in Green Dam. Instead I've noticed gobs of red and black.
The filtering software, which the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology wants installed in every computer sold in the country starting from July 1, is supposed to cleanse the Internet of unhealthy content. But the most possible effect is, it's going to make every Chinese netizen look like an idiot - or an adult with the IQ of an 8-year-old.

Online feedback shows that many netizens are red with anger. Perhaps that is why a ministry official hinted this week that users will be able to decide for themselves whether to install the software. If that isn't enough, Green Dam's developers now face a copyright action by US makers of similar filter software.

我在“绿坝”软件里没看到任何绿色的东西，反而看到了一堆红色和黑色的东西。
这款过滤软件旨在清除互联网上的不健康内容，工信部希望从7月1日起，安装在全国每台销售的电脑上。但它最可能带来的后果是，它会让每个中国网民看起来像个白痴——或者智商只有8岁孩子的成年人。
网上的反馈显示，许多网民怒火中烧。或许正因如此，工信部一位官员本周暗示，用户将能够自行决定是否安装该软件。更糟糕的是，绿坝的开发者现在正面临着美国类似过滤软件制造商的版权诉讼。
