China No Longer Importing Internet Porn From Other Countries
By Drew GrantJune 19th, 2009, 3:20 pmComments (1)Iran and North Korea aren't the only countries currently doing their damnedest to censor their citizens from the big, bad Internet. Currently China is taking issue with Google's "vulgar and pornographic search results" and are trying to stop overseas transmission of these items from being accessed on their Chinese-translator.
The Chinese government recently ordered all new personal computers to carry Green Dam filtering software designed to block pornographic Internet content from July 1, leading to fears China was using its campaign to protect children from "unhealthy" content as a way of tightening censorship.
Ironically, it's probably Japan, not America's porn results that China has to worry about. Speaking of which, Beijing has already recruited 10,000 volunteers to scour the 'net for possible pornographic material. Uh, d'uh. That's like the best job.
