- I wonder how this works in China. Does one half of the population monitor the other half? If so, who watches the half who is watching the other half? In short--isn't this basically a waste of time? Answering my own question: Yes, of course it is. Given how long it takes them to corral all "rogue" web sites, forums, IMs, etc. they are up against an impossible task to monitor the population in general. Thank goodness we live in a (mostly) free society.
