Chinese Government bags 'Internet Villain' Award

Future Publishing awarded its first "Internet Villain" award to the Chinese government for its hard line against the online world. "With its crackdown on online porn, political censorship and its decision to close thousands of internet cafes, authorities in China have managed to beat some of the net's nastiest people to win the award."

We have described many times the different battles that the government fought, which in some cases, also let to restiction to the access of Google's search engine, for example, but that this could be a way to pounce the "bad guys". Recently, some of those that used China as a base for their activities, were send to jail.

Well, at least someone is paying attention to it and "awarded the effort" (although the article does not make it quite clear if it is a positive or a negative award for China).
