      Wie heute, Freitag, von AP gemeldet wurde, hat die erst  
kürzlich aufgestellte Truppe der chinesischen Internet- 
Überwachungspolizei wieder zugeschlagen. "Everything  
under the Sun" eines der populärsten schwarzen Bretter im  
chinesischen Internet wurde erst im offiziellen  
Nachrichtenorgan der Internet-Polizei angeprangt & kurz  
daraufhin kurzerhand zugesperrt. Die Diskutanten hatten es  
gewagt, über das Massaker am Tien-An-Men Platz vor zehn  
Jahren zu diskutieren.

The bulletin board service, ``Everything Under the Sun'' _ on a  
Web page run by a Chinese computer software company _  
drew 60,000 messages in December and January, the Hong  
Kong-based Information Center of Human Rights and  
Democratic Movement in China said. 
 
Message writers had become increasingly bold, even  
discussing the 10th anniversary of the military's violent  
quelling of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement on  
June 4, the group said. 
.... 
On Jan. 27, the newspaper run by China's top prosecutor's  
office criticized bulletin board services like ``Everything Under  
the Sun'' for attacking government policies and leaders, the  
Information Center said. 
 
By Feb. 1, the bulletin board, on the ``New Wave'' Web page  
run by Stone Rich Sight Information Tech. Co. Ltd. had been  
shut down, the Information Center said. 
 
``New Wave is currently testing the forum and service has  
been temporarily stopped for a portion of the forum,'' a  
company notice on the bulletin board said Friday. It added  
that people could still post messages on a related service, a  
cultural forum sponsored by the official Beijing Evening News. 
.... 
The attack on bulletin board services came amid a tightening  
of government controls on the Internet. 
 
A police directive issued last month ordered police precincts  
nationwide to set up special task forces to monitor bulletin  
board services and shut down those with seditious  
messages, the Information Center has said.
