internet - Where can I find the internet police?
The question was bound to come and I got it today. A group of students from UC Berkeley is roaming over Shanghai doing all kind of stories. One of them has heard about the internet police and asked for my help. My basic story that the number of 30,000 internet police is basically a fabrication, first made by the Chinese media to show how caring their government is, then taken over by the Western media to show how evil the Chinese government is. In both cases, a fabrication.
That is of course the simple story. There is a bit more to it, but that would be too boring for most media.
