Updated: 2009-02-10 23:55 BEIJING -- China has shut down another 276 websites that contain pornographic and "lewd" materials, which brings the total number of closed websites to 1,911, the national Internet regulator said Tuesday. The crackdown against pornography and erotic materials, which was launched a month ago, has made "notable progress" but still faces many challenges, according to an unidentified official from the office for cracking down on online porn and lewd content. Many sites had gotten around the warning by changing their Internet address or page appearances, an official said in a statement to Xinhua.
Internet access providers would be publicly identified and held responsible for failure to block such websites, said the official. The authorities were also working on a reporting scheme to involve the the public in monitoring online pornography, according to the office. Individuals would get unspecified rewards for reporting porn websites to regulators, it said. "Lewd" content includes violence, libel, private and other information that violates standards of public decency. The office operates under seven government departments, including the State Council's Information Office and the ministries of Public Security and Culture, which jointly launched a nationwide crackdown campaign on porn Web sites in early January. It later extended the campaign to mobile phone games, online novels, blogs, videos, radio programs, cell phone Web sites, chat rooms and instant messenger groups. |
