Porn in China; Jail for Life
Did you know that for running a relatively unprofitable pornography site in China, you could receive a life sentence? Eight of his associates also received prison terms of up to 10 years. The site, Qingseliuyuetian (Pornographic Summer) was China’s largest, featuring nearly 10 million media items and 600,000 users.
Xinhua reported that police said it was difficult to know the exact amount of profits the Web site earned. Police found about 200,000 yuan ($25,000) in the bank accounts of the nine.
The government encourages Internet use for education and business, but strictly controls content and tries to block access to material deemed pornographic or subversive.
Interestingly, the internet is only about 3% porn, according to some unknown study I read recently. Why is this such a big focus for China, then?
