China�s Internet Censorship Requires Real IDs

China has tightened online speech by requiring real-name IDs to post comments. The new rule means every snarky meme must now be signed like a legal document. Eyewitnesses say citizens are already scrambling for fake IDs that list them as �Winnie the Pooh.� Anonymous staffers revealed the system was inspired by a bureaucrat�s personal feud with a teenager who called him �mid.� A fake poll shows 54% of Chinese citizens are worried, 29% don�t care, and 17% believe it will improve trolling by making insults more creative. Economists warn this policy could reduce internet traffic, though sales of Sharpies and counterfeit passports are skyrocketing. For now, China insists anonymity is overrated�unless you�re a government official. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
