It Takes A Lot Of People To Filter The Internet In China
from the employment-opportunities dept
The "Great Firewall" of China is quite well known. The fact that the country tries to block out plenty of websites and restrict what its citizens can do online is no secret. However, it seems that keeping Chinese internet users in check doesn't just take a lot of technology (often from American firms), but plenty of people. A new article suggests that the country has over 30,000 internet police to monitor what's going on -- and that doesn't appear to count security guards who literally look over peoples' shoulders at internet cafes. Given the size of the population, that may not actually sound that large, but it is pretty significant -- and it makes you wonder just how well that system scales as more and more Chinese citizens get online.

"There is far less internet filtering going on in China than generally believed."
I for one go by what I see, and I see quite a lot. Curious to know who chinelawblog.com is I note that the registrar are these good folks: www.harrismoure.com. Nothing shameful in it, but I think you have a bit of a biased opinion seeing as how your are all about business flourishing in china.

Re: China...
Vague anti-American comments from Americans is a freedom and all that noise, but it's mostly just stupid. Although I give you some credit for trying to seem like an original thinker, that is so original!
