Internet users in Shenzhen, China are now being accompanied on their online activities by two cute-looking little friends, Jingjing and Chacha. The duo, among other "duties", inform internet users what is and isn't appropriate or acceptable to write on the internet in China.The China Digital Times reported that it was told by an official at the Bureau that the main purpose of Jingjing and Chacha was...to "intimidate" users, openly reminding them to "self-regulate their online behavior".
Reports that the characters were originally designed driving tanks rolling over internet users are currently unconfirmed.
