Many-to-Many Censorship? (Xiao Qiang)

Call it state censorship M2M model: Chinese government just launched a new website for people to report on what officials describe as illegal or unhealthy information on the internet. A China blogger called this "a crackdown that employs a public open-ended architecture" and asked "Isn��t that just inviting random, pornographic, illegal, and inappropriate comments?" ---- [Many2Many]

I do accept as same as Xiaoqiang that it's a "perfect" strategy to do censorship in theory, however, I don't think it's workable any longer. The problem is, who and how to deal with the possible reports at backend? It's a labor work, indeed. And no one can ensure if the report is a illegal or unhealthy information. Ha, just like the old Chinese proverb said, "be too smart by half; Cunning outwits itself".
