中国减少"绿坝"的财务支持 (China Cuts Funding for 'Green Dam' Web Filter)
中国饱受争议的互联网过滤软件制造商之一“北京大正语言知识处理科技有限公司”称，由于政府停止财务支持，公司财务运营十分困难。该公司和一批其他公司去年推出过滤软件"绿坝花季护航"，称目的是为了保护儿童免受网上色情和暴力内容的侵害。
但在面对众多不满和抱怨，中国政府停止要求国内个人电脑安装这个软件。有人警告说，这个软件可被用来审查政治内容。
北京大正语言知识处理科技有限公司星期三证实，由于财务原因，公司办公室已被迫搬至新的地址，但目前该公司仍在运营，有雇员30名。
中国国家媒体称，该公司自2009年5月从政府收到620万美元后，再也没有得到过新的政府资助。
The makers of controversial Chinese Internet filtering software say they are struggling financially after being cut off from government funding.
Green Dam Youth Escort was launched last year with the stated goal of protecting children from pornography and violent content on the Internet.
But the Chinese government backed off from requiring it to be installed on all personal computers sold in China in the face of complaints, including warnings it could be used to censor political content.
An official at one of the makers (Beijing Dazheng Human Language Technology Academy) confirmed Wednesday the company had been forced to move to new offices because of financial problems, but said it is still in business with 30 employees.
Chinese state media said the company has received no government funding since a $6.2 million payment in May 2009.
