Chinese Web Censor Software Hacking Risk

The Chinese have made it mandatory for all new PCs to be shipped with censorship software that blocks websites.

It is intended to protect Chinese citizens from the evils on the web, but is of course a perfect vehicle for government censorship.

However those have a preference for ebony babes are probably immune to this feature.
