The Internet -- and the Chinese social media site, Weibo in particular -- has been flooded with talk about this extensive monitoring network, Skynet.
Some are a little concerned about the security of private information. One person named Dongshidexiaozhuge said: It's very cool and I hope it will be widely used by the police. But good management is also needed to deter abuse. If a lot of private information is leaked from the system, the result would be very serious.
However, others are excited. One named Xiuxin said this makes me think of the system in the movie 'The Fast and the Furious'. The system is good, which will increase detection rates. The development of the technology, related laws and regulations, and security protection should also move forward.
Another user called Jason-Junjin, said he hoped the system would play a big role solving child abduction cases, robberies and traffic accidents.
