"Use the Internet in a Legal Manner"

The 18th Party Congress convened yesterday in Beijing to anoint a new supreme leader. In the city center, construction projects are being halted and taxi drivers are being instructed to remove the window-rolling levers in their cabs. The shifts of giggling youths in charge of x-raying commuter baggage have put on grim faces. The censorship guys are going crazy. A notice translated at CDT:

 

Use the Internet in a Legal Manner
Strive to be an honest Internet user. Encourage the Internet’s civilized development. Strengthen civilized Internet awareness. Establish self-respecting, self-disciplinary and self-empowering awareness. Strengthen the ability to tell right from wrong. Strengthen one’s ability to protect oneself from negativity. Do not propagate illegal, criminal or false information. Do not use QQ, Weibo, forums, email or other Internet platforms to hurt others. Do not violate the privacy of others. Do not disrupt the order of the Internet. Do not casually meet Internet friends.
Self-respect and self discipline start with you. Let us join hands and work together to promote a civilized, safe and positive Internet environment. Let us provide a civilized, safe and green Internet for the 18th Party Congress.
