Talon Posted August 17, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2004 CHINA CYBER CRACKDOWN A Chinese internet entrepreneur has been sentenced to four years' jail in the country's first cyberporn criminal case. Wang Yanli ran a website featuring women stripping off and chat rooms for subscribers. She was convicted by a court in the eastern province of Jiangsu of organising the showing of pornography on the internet. Her sentence highlights efforts by Chinese authorities to be tough on porn sites. Some 87 million people in China are online, with the government encouraging use of the internet for business and education. But Beijing's strict rulers fear the tool could be used for spreading criticism of the Communist regime as well as material it deems obscene. Since mid-July more than 300 people have been arrested and 700 China-based websites shut down. Members of the public are called on to alert authorities to any websites which might be seen as outside the government's boundaries of decency.

VampChilde18 Posted August 17, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2004 The thing is that this website often goes against accepted beliefs. How many of us hate Bush here? Not everyone I know, but enough of us do that we might be deemed a threat. Can you Imagine if Bush tried to shut this site down? That would suck, but it would have everyone up in Arms against him. And you know what, I wouldn't put it beyond him to make certain cites that disagree with him illegal. He would be a dicator if he could. But wouldn't we all? I know I already am a dictator. My own little counrty where I can torture everyone I want. In my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
