New Documents about Green Dam Software

Rebecca MacKinnon has posted documents relating to the controversy of the mandated Green Dam filtering software, including a disclaimer included with the software in new Sony Vaio computers. She continues:

I have also received two documents from an anonymous source. Both were issued by the Ministry of Information Industry in 2006. They’re in Chinese, and quite long. I have not had a chance to go over them in detail. I am sharing them both in full. Hopefully somebody with more time and stronger technical translation skills than I have will help the community by doing a partial or full translation.
In sending me these documents my source points out: “Note the Jinhui and others were drafters of this standard. The 国家计算机网络应急技术处理中心 is a national cyber security related organization… Note that it also refers to possible mobile phone standards of similar nature. Also language in there about having a remote access capability.”
