From AFP<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nSeveral PC makers said Friday they were voluntarily including China’s controversial Internet filter software in new shipments despite Beijing’s decision to postpone making it mandatory.<\/p>\n

The government had been set to introduce the Chinese-made “Green Dam Youth Escort” programme but announced the delay hours before its implementation on July 1.<\/p>\n

Customer service staff at PC makers including Taiwan’s Acer Inc and China’s Haier Group said they were nevertheless installing or packaging the software with all new PCs — but added it was easy to uninstall.<\/p>\n
