We've noted before that China's Green Dam, web filtering program supposedly designed to block pornography, but in reality a serious threat to privacy and security, was obviously created in a haste, with many of its shortcomings being revealed as the story unwinds.
Now, besides the fact that it doesn't work on 64-bit operating systems, we have another one: it doesn't support Macs. Thus, Apple's computers seem to be - at least for the time being - exempt from the order that all PC makers must include Green Dam with new PCs sold in China.
This is probably just another temporary setback to the controversial Green Dam initiative, as the program will undoubtedly get updated to include support for currently unsupported operating systems. IDG writes:
"A service representative at a sister company to Green Dam's main developer, Jinhui Computer System Engineering, said the company is testing the software on non-Windows platforms and will release an updated version if compatibility is added for other OSes."
