A team of researchers at the University of Michigan has found a bevy of exploitable vulnerabilities in Green Dam, censorship software that the Chinese government wants to bundle on every PC.

This week, the Wall Street Journal reported that China wanted to require PC makers to bundle Green Dam with each unit sold. The reason: China wanted to protect its citizens from harmful content, also known as porn. However, Green Dam can filter out other things too such as political terms such as Falun Gong. You could call Green Dam Censorship.exe.
