China says anti-pornography campaign shut down 60,000 websites
(CNN) — China’s anti-pornography campaign shut down more than 60,000 pornographic websites this year, with police investigating almost 2,200 criminal cases, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported Thursday.
Wang Chen, director of the Information Office of the State Council, said at a news conference that some 350 million pieces of pornographic and indecent internet content were eliminated, according to the Xinhua report.
The government launched a special campaign a year ago to rid the internet of pornographic and vulgar content, Xinhua reported.
Overall, the campaign included 2,197 criminal cases involving 4,965 people who violated Chinese law by disseminating pornography via the internet or mobile phones, the news agency said. Of those, 58 people received prison sentences exceeding five years, the report said.
Wang said the campaign had helped clean up the internet and would continue.
Xinhua reported that Wang’s office has received more than 170,000 tip-offs this year, mostly about online or cellphone-based pornography, with 534 people getting rewards totaling 544,000 yuan (U.S. $81,964) for providing information.
Wang also said that 450 million people in China used the internet, a 20 percent increase over the previous year, according to Xinhua. That means that almost 34 percent of the Chinese population uses the internet, compared to a world average of 30 percent, Wang said at the news conference.
China’s motto: “No fortune cookie for you!”
Shouldn’t that be “No fortune nookie for you!”
If you live in China and buy a server in the US then isn’t that legal?
This does eliminate most of the spam tho coming from China so in a way it’s a good idea.
Put another notch in China’s civic record of goverment censorship one child no more, no porn, work work work no time for big american boobies we have to keep the trillion dollar deficit going. Chairman Mao would be so pleased…… not only do we control your sex organs we can conrol what you freely choose to see and enjoy god forbid they buy American Adult Products…..the true test of a given free and open society is its freedom to choose and China still has a long way to go now everyone kow-tow and open your little green revolutionary “Peoples Book” and turn to page 23
No karmafan… cookie means pussy too. Also “fortune cookie” can have multiple meanings… cookies may cost a small fortune or someone’s cookie can make them a fortune, it may be considered fortunate to get some cookie, it’s considered the bonus to a chinese meal that through China’s laws is missing, etc… Basically life and/or porn without sex is like chinese food without the fortune cookie, or something like that…
sorry i meant life and/or the internet without porn…. me and lucky have been drinking…
