Jinhui Computer System Engineering Co. is now getting constantly harassed for creating the Green Dam Youth Escort filtering software that'll be distributed with all new computers next week. According to GM Zhang Chenmin, over 1000 harassing phone calls were made to the company this month, and one even threatened to kill his wife and child. "Most of the calls came late at night, cursing our staff and uttering obscenities, voicing their resentment against the software," Zhang was quoted as saying by Xinhua. Interesting way of lashing out, for sure, though we'd like to take this moment to remind Chinese netizens that, in the end, Jinhui is but a pawn in the far reaching CCP game of internet censorship.
