What does “aimed at” mean?

The Guardian reports on a Chinese government requirement that all computers purchased in China (presumably including the Occupied Territory of Tibet) must have blocking software designed by the Chinese military.

Computer makers in China have been instructed to pre-install blocking software on every PC hard drive from next month, under a government push to control access to the internet.

The new software, which has been developed by companies working with the Chinese military, is specifically aimed at restricting online pornography, but it could also be used to strengthen barriers to politically sensitive websites.

How do they know it is “specifically aimed at restricting online pornography”? Why, they asked.
The software was developed by Jinhui Computer System Engineering in Henan under a 21m yuan (£2.2m) deal with the government.
Bryan Zhang, the founder of Jinhui, told reporters his company was compiling a database of forbidden sites, all related to pornography. He claimed users would have the option of uninstalling the software, or choosing to unblock sites, though they will not be permitted to see the list.

A better reporter would have written something like “which the Chinese government says is aimed at restricting online pornography”, leaving it to the reader to decide whether to be stupid enough to believe those corrupt tyrants.
UPDATE: The Washington Post does an even worse job. Its story comes with this headline:

China requires PCs to come with anti-porn software
Here is how it opens.
China is requiring personal computers sold in the country to carry software that blocks online pornography and other Web sites, potentially giving one of the world’s most sophisticated censorship regimes even more control over the Internet.
I just love that “possibly”. Someday we will see a mea culpa story by a journalist admitting that they lied for the Chinese government to maintain access.
