Crackdown on 18,000 Internet cafes in China |
I wonder what this means: “illegally admitted juveniles” into a cybercafe in China? Are juveniles not allowed internet access in China or what? thestandard.com:
A high-profile government crackdown on Internet cafes in China resulted in the temporary closure of 18,000 Internet cafes between February and August, but few cafes were closed permanently, according to the official Xinhua news agency. The crackdown on Internet cafes that took place earlier this year was led by China’s Ministry of Culture and was principally targeted at those cafes that illegally admitted juveniles, operated without a license, or allowed users to access or spread information deemed undesirable by authorities.
The part about “spread information deemed undesirable by authorities” just has a creepy, Orwellian feel to it, doesn’t it?
