Online Police Appear in Internet Bars in Xi'an
XI'AN, August 7 (Xinhua) -- Over 800 Internet bars in this
capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province recently installed a
kind of Internet security software called "Internet Police" to
enforce on-line safety regulations.
The software, with over a dozen functions, is highly effective,
according to the local public security department.
For instance, visitors attempting to enter banned web sites or
pages will be warned, and the screen will be automatically
shielded off once the page is opened.
Moreover, the "Internet Police" are able to capture designated
computer screens and cast them on the screen of the central
controlling office under the local public security bureau, where
police will be on duty round the clock from the end of September,
when the installation work in all Internet bars in the city has
been finished.
The software also has several other functions including on-line
registration, automatic alarms and upgrades, information
distribution, and Internet surfing records tracing.
