Green Dam Youth Escort is a software that was created by the Chinese government to block and monitor internet content that they deemed inappropriate for young people. The software was primarily created to block pornography and violent content, however, it is also used to track internet usage and prevent access to information that the government considers sensitive or politically sensitive.
Imagine that you are learning to use the internet for the first time, and your parents want to protect you from seeing bad things. Imagine that they install special software on your computer that makes sure you only get to see things that are safe for kids like you. That is what Green Dam Youth Escort is like.
However, this software has been controversial because it restricts access to information and violates people's privacy. Some people believe that the tool is being used to monitor people's online activities and limit their freedom of expression. It has resulted in widespread censorship and sparked concerns about the government's use of technology to control what people can and cannot see online.
