China's "Internet Police" finally came out of the shadows and created social media accounts to have a more visible censorship force on the internet.

The Chinese government has aggressively censored the internet, blocking many sites it deems could challenge the rule of the communist party or threaten its stability. Blocked sites include YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, as well as Google Inc's main search engine and Gmail service, Reuters reported.

Cyber police from all over different areas of China, including Beijing and Shanghai, will open accounts on accessible social media sites like Weibo, which is China's version of Twitter.

Illegalities like fraud, gambling and selling of guns and drugs, are causing disorder on the internet. The internet has also been the source for quarrels and all other forms of societal trouble, something that China believes to be a threat to the ruling party, according to The Independent.

Different responses came from netizens upon hearing the announcement. While some showed support and love, others posted illustrations and caricatures of their subtle protests of the new law.

Beijing and all of China has been trying to curb social media as a platform for public debate and political dissent.

The internet was free-functioning for a time, with authorities using it to gather opinions from the people, until August of last year, when things took a major turn and China started its campaign for a cleaner cyberspace as a means for a safeguarding national security, the Wall Street Journal reported.
