Healthy virtual world

With the Internet in reach to all who have access to computers, never has pornography posed such a great harm to the healthy growth of minors. The news that another 41 Internet portals transmitting pornographic information have been closed not only points to what we have achieved in this year's campaign against Internet pornographic content. It also sends the message that continuous efforts must be in place to guard against their comeback.

As early as in 2004, national regulations were released to prohibit Internet portals from providing pornographic content. The action that started in October this year has already closed hundreds of portals and deleted thousands of Internet pages that carry pornographic contents.

It is illegal to spread pornographic information among the public in this country. The fact that thousands of tip-offs were received within months after the campaign was launched in 2004 testifies that the action against pornographic content on the Internet is in the interest of the majority of residents.
