China Internet Users Fake Identity Numbers
Chinese officials say Internet users in the
country are using false identity card numbers to mask their identities
while accessing Web sites and games.
An official from the National Citizen Identity Information
Center said software that generates fake identity information can be
downloaded off the Internet for use in registering online game or Web
site accounts, Xinhua, China's official government-run news agency,
reported Tuesday.
"Chinese game companies and most of the Web sites that require
personal information on registration do not check anything. Their 'real
name registration systems' are simply no match for the identity card
number generators," the official said.
"Even children can now access games and Web sites that contain
unsuitable content using the identity card number generator," he said.
Huang Chenqing, secretary-general of the Internet Society of China,
said: "A lot of Internet users just don't want to register under their
real names for fear that they cannot do and say what they want on the
'Net as freely as before. What's more, some Internet users don't trust
game companies and Web sites with their personal information."
