Several legal and technical experts had predicted that the government may have to revise or even scrap its directive that by July 1, all PCs sold in China must include the Green Dam porn filtering software, but the source said Friday that these predictions are untrue. Experts have been predicting trouble regarding the directive since the developers of the software might face a copyright suit, and since severe security vulnerabilities had been discovered in the software as well.
