BEIJING (AFP) - China has launched a "people's war" against pornography on the Internet, giving websites a deadline until September to rid themselves of indecent content, state media said.

Officials have so far identified 500 websites across China that carry pornographic pictures and film clips, the China Daily reported. Zhou Yongkang, the minister of public security, has vowed to crack down on the activities and severely punish those found guilty of violating the law, according to the paper.

Pretty Scary stuff when the Government can step in like that. If Bush is re-elected we may see the same thing in a smaller dose! :bomb:

I am honestly not suprised at all about this. Intel will not sell their chips there anymore because the Chinese government wanted them to place backdoors in them to allow them to see what people are doing on their home and work computers. So this doesn't suprise me in the least bit.
