China goes to war against pornography

The Chinese authorities has now promised to clean the internet for porn, all audio and video clips available on the internet will be erased as 10 government departments spends the next six month working on removing pornography.

"The boom in pornographic content on the Internet has contaminated cyberspace and perverted China's young minds," Xinhua quoted the public security ministry's vice minister, Zhang Xinfeng.

Pornographic has been illegal for a while in China, and has already done a lot to filter porn, but porn is still to be found, they just have to do a little more effort to find it.

Xinhua cited a report from a Beijing rehabilitation centre for juvenile delinquents as saying that 33.5 percent of its detainees had been influenced by violent online games or erotic websites when they committed their crimes.
"The inflow of pornographic materials from abroad and lax domestic controls is to blame for the existing problems in China's cyberspace," Zhang said.
