*   China ordered all users of the Internet to register with the police, as
*   part of an effort to tighten control over information.
*   
*   The order came from the Ministry of Public Security.

*   Network users have been warned not to harm national security, or to

Well, there's a new way to control Internet users: require them to identify

#   technical innovator, but we need to add another element, and that is
#   control. The new generation of information superhighway needs a traffic
#   control center. It needs highway patrols; USERS WILL REQUIRE DRIVER'S
#   LICENSES. THESE ARE THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT."

   "it becomes technologically feasible...to check a person's [Internet]
    driver's license...the prospects for the eventual zoning of the Internet
    appear promising..."
