World China shuts down 60,000 porn sites and arrests 5,000 people in massive crackdown

[The Helper]

China has shut down more than 60,000 pornographic websites this year and arrested 5,000 people as it steps up a campaign against obscene material.

Beijing has run a highly publicised drive against lewd online content which it claims is overwhelming the country's internet and mobile phones and threatening the emotional health of children.

Critics have accused the Chinese government of deepening the crackdown, launched last December, and said censorship had blocked many sites with politically sensitive or even user-generated content.

Wang Chen, head of the State Council Information Office, said the offensive was vital.

The child is smiling because it is no longer being damaged, however odd that sounds.

Isn't their own porn visually censored? Except for their breasts...

 

[Sevion]

That would be Japan AFAIK.

If the men cannot... release... themselves, then they will be looking to be getting new women... which will lead to lots of sex, probably without condoms, which ultimatly leads to more preggy women. One route

but tbh, good on china, go Commies

60k? that's barely the tip of the iceberg when the internet is concerned.

Porn had entered post scarcity the minute the internet grew.

Just thinking about it makes me want to jank the old chain
