China Shuts Down 8,600 Cybercafes

ThatGuyAZ writes "China has shut down over 8,600 internet cafes in the last two months as a part of a new crackdown on "underage" internet use. The crackdown has also limited access to blogs, and forums, and requires video surveilance of cybercafe patrons. Only in China would a reduction of internet access to the public be called an "education campaign"."

But what good does keeping those younger then 16 off of the internet entirely accomplish?

Control what a child learns and you control the adult.
