As the largest censor of the internet, China has, according to this BBC News story
installed web cams to monitor the users of internet cafés in Shanghai.
I'm raging anti-communist, and must admit that as a country China isn't
doing too badly under Communism, but I do have problems with the whole
Big Brother aspect. And not just in tightly controlled regimes but
other places like the UK & US (more increasingly). I get the need
for a goverment to know generally what its citizens are doing, but do
they have to know particularly every single one? Just on the off chance
that one of them does something wrong? Ah well, I'm young and naive to
the world ain't I?
[Update] Link to the Chinese version of the BBC News website bet it doesn't have the article above :-) (oh you'll have to be able to read Chinese)
