China Plans Surveillance System for Internet Cafes

nasty writes "According to Interfax China, China will install a special surveillance system in order to prevent 'unhealthy information and websites'. All internet cafes in China will have installed the new system by the end of 2004. This according to China's Ministry of Culture (MOC). The system requires the customers personal information, such as name, age, and their national citizen identification number, before they are allowed to log onto the Internet." Reader Dr.Hair submits another blurb about the system.

The embargo against Cuba has nothing to do with himan rights. It is based on two factors:

1: Cuba is the only Communist state in the western hemisphere that America failed to overthrow.

2: There is a huge population of former Cubans in Florida that keep riding the governments ass about ending Castro's reign. Not that most of these people would ever move back to Cuba to save their lives.
