China to Regulate and Standardize "Troublesome" CyberCafes

Posted by Ernest Miller

C|Net News reports a highly disturbing story from China (China to consolidate Net cafes):

Nearly all of China's 110,000 Internet cafes will be consolidated under the management of larger, mainly state-owned companies in the next three years, according to the official Xinhua news agency.

So much for freedom of expression for the masses through the internet.

Regulation of cyber cafes is something that I've been doing a lot of research on recently. I'll be posting much more on these issues in the near future.
