China shut down 44,000 Web sites and arrested 868 people for Internet pornography last year.
China’s Public Security Ministry launched a crackdown on Internet pornography last year, saying it had “perverted China’s young minds.”
Nearly 2,000 people involved in Internet pornography activities also were penalized.
Aparently 33 people were arrested in connection with a Web site that allowed customers, mainly in Taiwan, to view live sex shows filmed at 12 separate locations in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai.
China’s online population has soared to 210 million people and could surpass the United States this year to become the world’s biggest, the official China Internet Network Information Center said earlier this month.
The government regularly censors and restricts access to content it considers subversive or politically sensitive, and Chinese Web sites often hire their own censors to eliminate certain content.
Wow.. we all think it must suck to be Chinese in China.
Even our female staff.
Not that we condone pornography of course.
