The fine line of the Internet. In China, the government is sending children “addicted” to the Internet to a summer camp in order to “wean” them off their addiction.
China has a tenuous relationship with the Internet, primarily because of the lack of ability to control what the population sees and hears. The government will also have patrols looking for minors entering Internet cafes.
There is good and bad in unfettered access to any type of information being at our fingertips. But the social implications for change within restrictive regimes are to be watched closely as countries attempt to “control” their citizens.
