【新唐人2011年7月29日讯】北京市区最近正在加强对酒吧、餐厅、旅馆和书店等公共场所的无线上网管制。新出台的规定要求这些店家必须安装网络监控软件，否则为顾客免费使用的无线区域网络Wi-Fi将被停用。许多大陆博客作家认为，网路控制是对言论自由和信息传播自由权利的侵犯。
在北京东城区一家咖啡厅的门前，贴着一张警方的通知，上面写着《关于开展非经营上网服务场所依法落实安全技术保护措施的通知》。
文件通知辖区内的咖啡店、酒店、小酒吧等场所，使用无线上网的地方要安装一个“安全监控”软体才能上网，否则为顾客免费用的WiFi将被停用。
《纽约时报》报导，北京公安部门要求业主，必须安装一套价格约为两万元人民币的软件。这款软件能够让公安局了解这些在餐馆、咖啡厅或者私人学校登录上网者的身份，并且监察他们的网络活动。如果不按照规定，提供无约束网络服务的商家，将会被罚款1.5万元，甚至有被吊销营业执照的可能性。
警方在通告中表示，有不法份子利用网际网路进行网路诈骗、贩毒、赌博、散步有害信息、传播电脑病毒等案件日益严重，损害了国家和群众利益，也使一些企业蒙受经济损失，登记身份就是保障互联网的安全。对此，北京律师邬宏威表示，这样是不可能保障网路安全的，只是增加对言论的管控。
北京市海铭律师事务所邬宏威：“他这个控制呢，就是加强对人的言论自由的问题，和社会管理的问题。”
大陆著名网络公民记者周曙光也表示，这只是一个当局用来打压言论自由的借口。
中国网络公民记者周曙光：“这是一个借口，但是我觉得对在中国来说，更重大的是用这个方法来打压言论自由，然后迫害那些在网络上的维权者，或者是其他政治抗议者，因为我觉得登记每一个上网者的讯息，和那个防火长城检查系统的目标是一致的。”
资深博客莫之许对《自由亚洲电台》表示，虽然一般人未必受到干扰，但行政当局介入通讯自由值得商榷。
资深博客莫之许：“对个人信息的掌握是需要讨论，因为通讯是个人空间，我们的宪法也是保障通讯自由，新趋势下比如说QQ，各种交流软体，也算是统一的通讯，所以政府若要介入这方面，我觉得需要论证一下。”
据了解，许多拥有笔记型电脑和ipad的大学生或外派人员，还有那些熟悉内情的网民，他们在网吧会通过某种匿名方式来上网。藉由“微博”一次可以发表140个文字的方式，相互交流信息，或讨论、复制和转发信息。
像这次浙江温州发生动车追撞事故，大陆网友纷纷透过“微博”发起营救行动，23号20点47分，一条求救的“微博”发出后，迅速被转发9万4125次。
也正是这样的一群人组成了影响力极大的“微博前线人员”，革命性的改变了中国人信息交流传递的方式，是否因此让北京公安当局感受了互联网迅速传递的作用，而加强网控。
有舆论认为，中国是世界上网控最严格的国家之一。据不完全统计，去年中共当局封堵了一百多万个网站，其中包括脸书、推特、YOUTUBE和EVITE等在很多国家广泛使用的网站。

Beijing Monitors Public Wi-Fi
Beijing recently increased surveillance on internet cafes,
restaurants, hotels and bookstores’ public Wi-Fi networks.
The new regulations require these public Wi-Fi networks
to install a monitoring software.
Otherwise, their public Wi-Fi will be disabled.
Many Chinese bloggers believe the network monitoring
is a violation of freedom of speech and communication.
Police has posted a notice in an internet cafe in east Beijing.
It reads, “None-commercial Internet establishments
must implement security protection measures.”
The notice informs all coffee shops, bars, etc. in the district
that to provide Wi-Fi, they must install a “monitoring” software.
Otherwise, their free Wi-Fi for customers will be stopped.
As per New York Times, Beijing Public Security Bureau
demands shop owners to install a software that costs
RMB 20,000 [about USD 3,100].
The software will allow the police to identify and monitor
everyone, who goes online using these networks.
If the shops do not comply and still offer free Wi-Fi,
they might be fined RMB 15,000 [USD 2,300],
or have their business licenses revoked.
Police said in the notice, criminals are using the Internet
to carry out scams, drug trafficking, gambling and
to spread vicious information and virus.
All these harm the national and public interest.
And various businesses suffered economic loses.
Therefore, user registration is to protect the Internet security.
However, Beijing-based lawyer Wu Hongwei believes that
this won’t ensure Internet security other than monitor it.
Lawyer Wu Hong Wei: This regulation is an issue of
freedom of speech and management of the society.
China’s Internet citizen reporter Zhou Shuguang also thinks
this is just an excuse to suppress freedom of speech.
Citizen reporter Zhou Shuguang: This is just an excuse.
In China, this will be used to suppress speech,
then to persecute vocal human rights defenders
and other political dissidents.
Internet user registration goes hand in hand with
the ultimate goal of the Great Firewall of China.”
Veteran blogger Mo Zhixu told Radio Free Asia that
it might not affect ordinary netizens.
However, it’s debatable to have the administration
getting into communications.
Blogger Mo Zhixu: We need some discussion on
having access to personal information.
Communication is personal information.
Our constitution also protects freedom of communication.
Software such as QQ, chatting software, etc,
are a form of communication.
If the government wants to intervene,
they need good reasoning.
Many college students and expatriates using notebooks and
iPads, as well as netizens that receive insider information,
often go online anonymously in internet cafes.
Using micro-blog’s 140-word limitation,
they communicate, discuss, copy and transfer information.
For example, of the recent high-speed train rear-end collision,
many netizens initiated rescue efforts on micro-blogs.
On July 23, at 8:47p.m., a call to help was micro-blogged,
and was then forwarded 94,125 times.
These people formed a “Micro-blog Frontier,”
and revolutionized Chinese people’s communication methods.
Maybe the speed of communication is what worries
the Beijing police, who therefore pushes the regulation.
Some public opinion expresses that China
is one of the most strictest in her internet control.
According to incomplete statistics, the communist regime
blocked over 1 million websites in 2010,
including Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Evite
and other popular overseas websites.
