17 to face trial for spreading porn online
Print Edition
A TOTAL of 17 people were arrested between December and April on suspicion of spreading pornography online, authorities revealed on Monday.
One of the people detained was a pregnant woman who was later released on bail, the National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications said in a statement.
The suspects stored a large quantity of pornographic videos and pictures on cloud storage systems developed by Internet giants Baidu and Qihoo 360, the statement said.
They also sold access to the accounts via social network platforms and messaging services, including WeChat and QQ, it said.
In one case, a man surnamed Xie is accused of making 50,000 yuan (US$8,100) from the sale of passwords to accounts containing more than 4,200 video files.
The office said it will focus on regulating social apps and cloud storage services in the next two months and will punish Internet companies that fail to clear up illegal content.
