The Chinese regime announced a new rule which requires residents to pass a facial recognition test in order to apply for an internet connection via smartphone or computer.
The rule will be implemented from Dec. 1, 2019. In addition, no cell phone or landline number can be transferred to another person privately.
This is an upgraded restriction after the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) required all applicants to present a valid ID and personal information to register for a cell phone or a landline number since January 2015.
MIIT published the new rule on its official website and distributed it to all telecom carriers on Sept. 27, which includes three main requests.

Dissidence will not be tolerated!
Violators will be hunted and shot!
I can see this happening here soon.
They can justify it because drug dealers and criminals use burner phones to avoid phone taps.
They would get very little push back because few people use disposable phones or pay per minute phones.
Hey! I know you! You’re that guy/gal!
This is where education is going. So, you must have social credit in order to go to school.
When does Pelosi propose the bill?

The facebook rule. Tyranny in the extreme. Wear a mask— get arrested for underground internet use.
