224 Adult Webmasters Arrested
 

China Shuts Down 700 Porno Web Sites

BEIJING - Chinese authorities have shut down 700 pornographic Web sites in less than two weeks as part of a massive campaign to clean up the Internet, the official Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday.

Citing figures from the Ministry of Public Security, Xinhua said 224 suspects have been detained since July 16, when the crackdown began. No details were given on those cases.

Since it publicized two telephone numbers and a Web site for people to report porn sites, the ministry has received 733 phone calls and 16,711 online tips, Xinhua said.

Lewd photos, videos and articles attracting Internet users to join "pornographic activities online or organizing sex trade" were targeted, it said.

While China aggressively promotes Internet use for business and education, censors keep a tight watch over domestic Web sites and block access to foreign sites deemed subversive or obscene.

Wu Mingshan, an official in charge of the campaign, said "a clean online environment" has been established in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, as well as Liaoning province in the northeast and Guangdong in the south, Xinhua said.

Other future targets include online criminal activities like fraud and gambling, he said.

What about paying with chicken to see chicks ? :1orglaugh

dayum... that would hit the biz though

Everybody jokes about the Chinese, but the way that country is going the US could be in their rearview mirror one day. And they have 3 times the population we do on top of it.

How did we end up lumped in with fraud anyway?

Are there any Chinese webmasters on GFY?

I'm surprised they're going after the gaming site owners next. The Chinese love gambling.

wow, wow, wow

This will probably happen in the USA in three years if Bush get's re-elected...

How many are going to be able to abide by the new 2257?

sucks to be a webmaster in China right now

as long as the kids are protected. i support this.

:thumbsup

and still no effect on gfy

I think it is almost 5 times the population actually, they are well over 1 billion :glugglug

Damn! Thats serious

Just checked

China Population:
1,298,847,624 (July 2004 est.)
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/...k/geos/ch.html


USA Population:
293,027,571 (July 2004 est.)
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/...k/geos/us.html

So they have about 4.4 times the population :glugglug

HAHA.

Seriously though, that is pretty fucked up. One more reason why Communism doesn't work, and why all Communists can kiss my ass. :321GFY

Like if it would change something

They will just go offshore... :)

China also just blocked google...
no more chinese google traffic...

they're really cracking down over there

1. i cant believe there's a country that is a bigger prude pussy than America. didn't they invent the kama sutra?

2. i watched a msnbc report last week about how the average chinese family has 3 credit cards.

3. anybody know chinese? i'm sure we can get our shit in there..

4. those commies probably monitor GFY, jus the like commies that run America.

:2 cents:

look at the bright side more traffic for everybody else...

That was India.

Those are amazing numbers. I've always wondered how accurate they are though. How do we really know they're telling the truth and not fudging hundreds of millions to make themselves more powerful appearing than they are.

funny thing is, they block info more than porn too.

they block sites about health care and other stuff online, way more than porn.

"The authors tracked 19,032 web sites that were inaccessible from China on multiple occasions while remaining accessible from the United States. Such sites contained information about news, politics, health, commerce, and entertainment."

Where'd you hear that???

shoot now thats strict.

oh hehe yea those guys are perverts..

:1orglaugh

arrested just for running a porn site? ouch!

Japanese guys make me a lot of money every day.

They Travel A LOT... I will NOT give you details.

scary shit

Well, it could be, they do stuff like that, but still I doubt they would take drastic messures like the one child policy if it was not getting a problem.

Also if Pakistan and Bangladesh would still be a part of India they would have like 1.4 billions

India Population:
1,065,070,607 (July 2004 est.)

Pakistan Population:
159,196,336 (July 2004 est.)

Bangladesh Population:
141,340,476 (July 2004 est.)

And I don't think any of those countries are lying...
Imagine, that is like half of the worlds population in 4 countries, there of 1/3 in 2 of them


No sorry, my bad!
They haven't banned it, they are considering it though, just saw it on TV.

They did ban them a couple of years ago, but it only lasted for like a month or two :)

Well, not any more.

what's your point? can't follow :)

amazing.. a friend of mine just got back from china and he had interesting stories. funny country, but they'll kick the US's ass in a few years.
