Call for more Web laws to fight porn

CHINA will pay dearly if it does not act now to frame laws covering the Internet, as some profit-driven Websites keep on carrying pornographic and "lewd" material, said a political adviser yesterday.

"The lewd and violent content on the Internet will deeply affect the moral values of adolescents," said Chen Daoming, member of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Chen, a well-known actor, said government circulars were far from enough to control the Internet and the government should create a law.

"If we don't take action, a huge price will be paid in the coming 10 to 20 years, and there will be no instant remedy for it," said Chen.

He also said some blog articles are full of rumors, but without the regulation of the law, Websites that carry those rumors can easily evade punishment by simply declaring "the article does not represent the viewpoint of this Website."

"The law should be carefully framed, the more detailed the better," he said at the annual CPPCC meeting.
