Cartoon cyber cops patrol blogs

Two online cartoon online icons, a male and female named Jingjing and Chacha, police the city of Shenzhen's news and discussion websites to remind posters that they are under surveillance, the Financial Times reported. Now users know the police are watching them, said Minli, director of the Shenzhen City Public Security Bureau's Internet Surveillance Center. All around the world there are internet police. No other internet police have stepped to the front of the stage. We feel that this is an historic breakthrough. When Jingjing and Chacha arrived on websites, the number of postings removed fell more than 60%.
