With the aim of curbing illegal and immoral Internet use, China will be launching its virtual cops onto people’s computer screens, the Associated Press reports.
The virtual male and female officers will give text warnings while moving across the screen by foot, motorcycle or car. Web surfers needing help will be redirected to the Beijing Public Security Ministry. Initially, the virtual cops will patrol only the top portals but will be everywhere by the end of the year.
The program is set to start on September 1.
