Keyword Lists

作者：Nart Villeneuve   来源：Internet Censorship Explorer

A while back I put together various lists of keywords that have been found to be censored in some way in China. I noticed that they've been floating around the Net so here's a post explaining where each of the lists came from.

• badwords.txt - This is a list that was found on 163.com, a popular Chinese portal. It is unclear to me what the exact purpose of the list is.

• banword.txt - This is a list that I found on TOM Online's Skype servers. This is is not the list used in Tom-Skype (the actual Skype client), but appears to be part of another product, possibly "web chat" software of some kind.
