Crackdown to protect schoolchildren
Print Edition
THE government is cracking down on the creation, sale and dissemination of children’s publications deemed illegal and harmful.
The nationwide campaign, which lasts until September, aims to uncover problematic books, cartoons and games being sold around primary and middle schools, according to a circular on the National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications’ website.
Sales of publications that promote heresy, superstition, obscenity, violence, instigate crimes, or contain “horrific or cruel” content are prohibited, according to the circular.
The campaign will also clean up online social networks that disseminate harmful online games, novels, music and cartoons, the circular said.
Such websites and applications will be shut down, banned, and operators held accountable, it added.
The clampdown is one of several campaigns the office and other government agencies have embarked on this year to weed out illegal and pornographic publications and information.
They have also cracked down on illegal Internet-based media, academic journals, news websites, copyright infringement and piracy, the office said.
Last year, similar campaigns led to the confiscation of more than 15 million illegal publications and the shutting down of 28,000 websites, figures from the office showed.
