OTOH here in center-south .it (southern politics, milder primitivism)
the situation is sensor intensive, while noone knows how to read the
sensors. what is visible to the foreign visitor is that there are no
more internet cafes, since anti-terrorist laws were enforced to ask an
ID to everyone connecting to the Internet and then most clubs, circles
and small internet shops had to close for lacking the capacity to
provide secure identification of their customers - be it because they
thought its unethical, unpolite or simply unfeasible.

The only public internet found is given by the municipality, which
knows well how to handle identification of course, does it via a
website where one declares his/her own identity and gets checked back
via a GSM SIM contract available at mobile telco shops.

no more E street shuffle sir, that's just a dusty song in the Boss
vinyl I used to play here at my parents place.

ciao
