BEIJING — China is requiring personal computers sold in the country to carry software that blocks online pornography and other websites, potentially giving one of the world’s most sophisticated censorship regimes even more control over the Internet.
The software’s developer said Monday the tool would give parents more oversight by preventing computers from accessing sites with pornographic pictures or language.
Although porn sites are initially targeted, the software could be used to block other websites too, including those based on keywords rather than specific Web addresses.
