If you go to a net cafe you need your passport or ID card. So essentially, all internet users are registered, or at least traceable already. So what's the point of this, to save the police some phone calls? And aside from the pain in the ass of registering yet again, I don't see why people are so up in arms. It seems like it's more or less the way things are already.</p>
