COMMUNIST CHINA EMPLOYS 2 MILLION PEOPLE TO MONITOR INTERNET (Friday Church News Notes, October 11, 2013, wayoflife.org, [email protected], 866-295-4143) - Communist China’s slave masters have employed two million people to monitor its citizen’s Internet usage. “[I]n a bid to prevent social unrest and limit criticism of the ruling Communist party ... the ‘web police’ are employed by the governments propaganda arm, as well as by commercial sites, the Beijing News said” (“China Pays,” France24, Oct. 5, 2013). In recent years the government has blocked U.S. social media sites Facebook and Twitter, and in recent months censoring of domestic social media sites has been increased. Hundreds have been arrested for spreading “rumors” online. The China Supreme Court ruled that Internet users can face three years in prison for publishing “slanderous” information that is viewed more than 5,000 times or forwarded more than 500 times. The citizens of China are free -- free to do whatever the government allows them to do, that is. This is the direction that the Western nations are traveling, and it is a glimpse into the future when a global government will monitor every aspect of people’s lives.
