The Chinese Route To a Web Free of Porn

An anonymous reader writes "Despite repeated 'for the children' campaigns, the Western Web as a whole has provided little or no isolation of pornography. This is why the Chinese are now attempting to march to a place where no country has been before: a Web without porn. Recent regulations have included closing down 'vulgar' mobile sites, disconnecting 'obscene' servers, and restricting domain registrations. Yet the breaking news for Monday is that China is planning to enforce a whitelist on foreign domains: in particular, any e-commerce will have to register locally and obey Chinese law before they get whitelisted. Domains will otherwise be 'irresolvable' to Chinese Internet users. Meanwhile, the government is promoting this campaign heavily, calling it a 'fresh start.' It seems the Chinese may have to do without the Internet, before they can rid it of porn."

    pirating movies & mp3s...After all, we're seriously cutting into the movie studio's profits... According to a recent slashdot story, "In 2009, the leading Hollywood studios made more films and generated more revenue than ever before" - 10 million USD! and they had 500 million USD to make Avatar...Obviously we're breaking their bank, no wonder the key grips can't afford food to feed their families...

    Other than that... hmmm... Can't think of much reason for the net...

    Looks like we've got a new amusingly painful chapter ahead of us for Chinese internet users.

    On the plus side, their eyes may go back to normal after a generation or two.

    "The problem is systemic. Those broken family values extend and permeate the school and university system, meaning that Chinese children spend the most important phase of their lives in a fucking bizzaro wonderland."

    Sooo it's pretty much exactly like America?
