Big brother gets better technology

Big brother is watchingIt seems that China is working with the Anhui Modern TV Technology Institute (as opposed to the Classic TV Technology Institute), to develop yet another big brother type technology. The system will “automatically monitor TV broadcasts FOR ‘unhealthy’ content” said an official from Anhui. I think it’s more like anti-TV technology.

Now what is deemed unhealthy? Again, that’s up to the Chinese government. Anhui says it is the “next step” after their implementation of their quality monitoring system, that determines poor or unreadable broadcasts.

What I find astonioshing, is that everyone seemed very normal about this whole proceeding. Yep, we will be making sure we filter out everything that you see, and that’s perfectly normal. For your own protection, because you don’t know what you shouldn’t see. Again, the whole idea of the Chinese government being like a “parent” to its “little children” citizens comes into vision. Perhaps one day people will “grow up” and not need the protection of their government parents anymore.
