By way of example, sexual data and details found on one particular lonely-hearts
posting describes a young woman with a fair complexion who considers herself as
a "professional pleasure giver." Naturally, some may argue that such
terminology is not necessarily a convoluted admission of prostitution, though
the likelihood of said individual merely enjoying making people smile for a set
hourly rate is unlikely.at best.
"Aiding and abetting the spread of prostitution information in pursuit of a
higher hit rate may be against the law," outlined Min Dahong, director of the
watchdog panel in regard to the collection of sites, which have been told to
remove all offending material as of June 01. The panel also highlights that
dating Web sites are not the only online provider of prostitution coverage,
with Internet-based classified ads, blog listings, and message bulletin boards
all apparently guilty of such behaviour.
The Beijing Online News and Information Panel was set up in 2006 in association
with the publicity department of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese
Communist Party and its aim is to track Web sites reported by China's
ever-growing community of Netizens - which presently stands in excess of 144
million people.
