Controlling Software is Everywhere

At client side, all newly shipped PC are required to pre-install a spyware by the government (well. The nature of a software is really about what it does, instead of who installed it). This is just like a fiction.

At the server side, more and more internet companies are required to install a server controlling system to get information automatically to the government of the user information.

It is unbelievable but it is happening these days in China.

So the fictional "Room 101" illustrated in the novel "1984" by George Orwell finally came true in China. What a remarkable achievment!
