China uses the living Web against the living Web

A guest blogger at Many-to-Many reports that the "Chinese government just launched a new website for people to report on what officials describe as illegal or unhealthy information on the internet.

(If one wants to know more about how censorship works in Chinese society, you can read an excellent article written by Princeton professor Perry Link.)"
