The be-all and end-all of Chinese internet censorship effort, is the Green Dam software.Green Dam software is intended to stamp out Internet pornography, and computer companies had originally been told that from Wednesday they had to bundle "Green Dam" with all personal computers heading to stores for sale.
However, the seriousness of the effort was lost, when the Green Dam barred popular cartoon Garfield, Johny Depp and other innocent images. The reason was attributed to the deep orange colour of the images, which is screened by the software (Due to similarity with Nudes). Interestingly once the filter is turned off on the computer, graphic sexual images can also be downloaded.
