The Chinese government on Thursday ordered data centers to take down targeted web pages and report contact information, IP address and server info to police. This was a drill, to "tackle the problem of smaller websites disseminating harmful information", China's Public Ministry stated. Officials have been cracking down lately on the means by which many Chinese people have been able to get around the "Great Fire Wall" and access banned sites. They are hoping to tighten their grip before political reshuffling coming soon.
This is the beginning of the end for governments around the world as decentralization evolves. We can be sure, however, that they will not go quietly.
