In Hong Kong, we have been discussing controversial content filtering proposals recently, including both server and client side techniques.  And, last week, the China central government announced the launching of a mandatory client-side filtering solution to be included in all PCs to be shipped in the Mainland after July 1.  This measure has direct impact to the hundreds of millions of Internet users in China and at the same time affects PC manufacturers, online advertising company, bloggers and many others.  In order to have a detailed technical understanding of this software, PISA, ISOC-HK, ISFS, HKISPA, Valkyrie-X Research Lab invite you to this seminar, where we will have technical experts from Hong Kong and China to share their findings and observations, including from inside of China.
