China's Crackdown on Internet Porn

Tuesday September 07, 2004

"China beefed up its ongoing crackdown on internet porn on Monday with new rules published that allow courts to issue life sentences to those convicted of posting pornography online.
The measure applied to those guilty of the profit-oriented production and dissemination of pornographic material through the internet, mobile phones and "phone-sex" services, according to the Supreme People's Court website."

Life sentences? I'm not saying I'm really into porn or anything, and lets just pretend that I don't have 13 gigs of it on my hard drive, but come on China. True, it's pretty bad how accessible free pornography is to children on the internet, just the pop-up ads alone provide sneak peeks at what they can get with minimal effort. But to give out a life sentence for trying to make a buck makes me want to puke. And for those people that do like porn you better hope Japan doesn't do something like this, because we all know where the filthiest most wretched porn comes from.
