In China there are more than 40, 000 internet police. When someone posts a comment they don't like on a blog or on an Internet Forum, the internet police delete the comments.I think this is hilarious as I can just picture all the 'Internet Police people' sitting around their computers hitting the delete key every 2 minutes.It seems the Chinese government wants to keep everyone in the China in the dark about issues such as pollution, Tibet and corruption.Cafes in China, have no privacy. It seems cafes experiment with swipe cards linked to customers' national ID cards. Some Beijing Internet cafes have gone as far as installing surveillance cameras that overlook computer screens.Furthermore the International Olympic Committee officials cut a deal to let China block sensitive websites despite promises of unrestricted access, a senior IOC official admitted....China had committed to providing media with the same freedom to report on the Games as they enjoyed at previous Olympics, but journalists have this week complained of finding access to sites deemed sensitive to its communist leadership blocked. I think "you can fool some of the people some of the time but you cant fool all of the people all of the the time"Everyone wants to know about censored stuff, it is human nature and I am sure they hear about all these things the old way through the 'grapevine'The Internet Police can keep deleting everything but people will still find ways to find out whats going on around the world.One example is with the help of overseas “hactivists,” however, Chinese are finding ways around China's Great Fire Wall. New software, such as “Roaming without Borders,” can be easily downloaded in China, and allows users to surf freely. “Everyone is using it,” says a writer, who says Chinese are openly passing the program around. “And the government can't trace the IP address.” She says the software has been in existence for about two years and that it's continuously getting better. “I can get any information I want,” a well-known political dissident told me recently, smiling broadly. A few months ago he was says he was unable to access sensitive sites, reliant on foreign friends to give him news about China. After all how many foreigners were in China during the Olympics? Did they think people weren't going to talk to each other?http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/30/olympics-committee-admits_n_115796.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_the_Peoplehttp://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jPl75iNlA5thQKGfw4Sa26Xa2V6Q
