China Moving to Real Name Registrations for Blogs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the defeating-the-greater-internet-fuckwad-theory dept.

dptalia writes "China is moving to require people to use their real names when blogging. The proposed solution, arrived at by the Internet Society of China (affiliated with the ministry of information) would allow bloggers to use a pseudonym when blogging as long as they used their real name when registering."

    I'm sure that there is a "Laung Wang" joke in there somewhere.

    Isn't it about time some of the world governments started calling bullshit on these fucking Asian sons of bitches who brag about their thousands of years of "civilization", yet who treat their own people like dog shit? Whenever they're criticized about their human rights records, they demand retractions so they can "save face" -- i.e. not be shown to have their panties bunched around their ankles. Or they call it "an internal matter". But when Canada declares the Dalai Lama an honorary citizen, they scream and holler and throw demonstrations and demand it not be done and that they get apologies for the mere thought of doing anything that offends them.

    They're nothing but a bunch of butchers who think that, because the Mohammedans get away with being so easily offended, they should be able to do so as well.

    We should send that Rice bitch over to tell them to fucking grow up and join the civilized world.

  2. How can they tell if a registered name is real? by Orion+Blastar · · Score: 1, Troll

    I mean do they have software that can detect a real name from a fake one? Most of the web sites and blogs I have registered with have no idea that Orion Blastar is not my real name. I even get postal mail addressed to Orion Blastar from my web registations (I used my real postal address with my pen-name) and even the junk mail and credit card companies think that Orion Blastar is for real, despite not having a SSN tied to the name at any of the credit reporting companies. With the USA having more advanced technology than China, how can China enforce that sort of thing?

    How long before the USA and other nations adopt the same policy of blogging with real names. Oh the horrors and 1984 references. Better register all the nicknames and pen-names we will use for our lifetime now, before they start checking so they can all be grandfathered in before those laws get passed.

    If Tibet became "free" by Chinese withdrawal, would the Dalai Lama want you to see these images? He is holding the hand of Shoko Asahara, the cult leader who gassed a bunch of people on the Tokyo subway with sarin. http://www.angelfire.com/ego/sinzinrui/photo4/rama 2.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ego/sinz inrui/photo4/rama3.jpg
