"China Tells Internet Users To Register With Police"
*   The New York Times, 2/15/1996
*   
*   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
*   disseminate pornography.

Well, there's a new way to control Internet users: require them to identify
themselves, no doubt your U.S.-created National ID Card will be required for
access. That ought to stop pornography: identify each and every user.

#   "The Great Firewall of China", by Geremie R. Barme & Sang Ye, Wired, 6/97
#   
#   Xia Hong, China InfoHighway's PR man: "The Internet has been an important
#   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."

In dissenting on the unconstitutionality of the CDA, which attempted to censor
the Internet, Supreme Court Justice O'Connor, together with the Chief Justice,
said CDA will be legal as soon as:

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

My WebTV has a slot for reading a smart card!

Well, noone would ever put up with a Universal Biometric Card in the U.S.!
