One year on: China shuts 1,800 porn sites in war on smut
June 13, 2005
China has successfully shut down more than 1,800 pornographic Web sites in one
year in a nationwide campaign, the state media reported on Saturday.
Since its debut on June 10 last year, the centre has received 143,000 reports
on Web sites with pornographic or other illegal contents, director of the
online reporting centre, Liu Zhengrong said.
About 67.5 per cent of the reports were related to Web sites with pornographic
contents, while 4.4 per cent of them involved cults and 3.4 per cent were
related to online graft, Liu said.
Thanks to the active reporting from the public, the centre has transferred
1,878 related reports to the public security and judicial departments,
including 1,264 with pornographic contents and 307 with gambling information.
To encourage more reports from the public, the centre also issued a new rule to
reward those who provide effective information, from 500 to 2,000 yuan (about
$61 to $242 USD), the report said.
