BEIJING -- A $2.2 billion lawsuit that targets the Chinese government and several international computer makers is the latest twist in the saga of China's controversial Green Dam software, which last year was introduced to filter Internet content on individual computers.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by Cybersitter LLC, a California maker of parental-control software, alleges that Green Dam copied code from its filtering software. The complaint also alleges that China-based sources attempted to gain access to the private servers that held its proprietary material.
