Firm steps pledged on Internet porn
August 13, 2004
China will improve its long-term mechanism to combat Internet pornography,
according to a senior official of the Ministry of Information Industry
yesterday.
Xi Guohua, a vice minister, said the long-term supervision mechanism should be
improved for "combating Internet porn comprehensively."
Fourteen ministries, including the Ministry of Information Industry and the
Ministry of Public Security, launched a nationwide campaign on July 16 to crack
down on pornographic Websites.
Nearly 700 pornographic Websites have been shut down in Beijing, Shanghai and
Chongqing municipalities and Liaoning and Guangdong provinces.
According to Xi, the ministry will bolster its supervision of Internet
information security in several areas.
First it will improve the means of supervision. On one hand, the ministry is
preparing new regulations to clarify who should be responsible and the
punishment if anyone violates the laws.
On the other, the ministry is organizing experts to research an online
auto-reporting system and improve the information database based on searching
IP (Internet Protocols) addresses so as to fix the wanted information as soon
as possible.
Secondly, the ministry will improve supervision of text message service
providers.
Xi said the ministry, along with the Ministry of Public Security and the
Information Office of the State Council, will set new regulations on text
message services to punish those who spread pornographic information via text
messages.
