China postpones controversial Web filter - Associated Press
China postponed a plan to require personal computer makers to supply Internet-filtering software Tuesday, retreating in the face of protests by Washington and Web surfers hours before it was due to take effect. Manufacturers would have been required to include filtering software known as Green Dam with every computer produced starting Wednesday for sale in China. The official Xinhua News Agency said regulators "will delay" the plan but gave no indication whether it might take effect later. It gave no other details.
