Facing strong resistance at home and abroad, China on Tuesday delayed implementation of a controversial rule that requires all manufacturers to install Internet filtering software on all new computers that are shipped and sold in China.

<strong>Rules released for distribution of broadband stimulus funds</strong>

<strong>Facebook to revise its privacy controls</strong>

Facebook on Wednesday announced it will simplify the settings that allow users to control who sees what content they share on the site, acknowledging that its existing privacy tools have grown unwieldy.
