Internet firms to be punished over violent content
Print Edition
CHINA will punish Internet companies including Tencent Holdings Ltd, Youku Tudou Inc and Baidu Inc’s iQiyi for hosting videos suspected of containing violence and pornography, which it said causes juvenile delinquency.
The offending material is primarily Japanese animation on the video streaming websites of Tencent, Youku Tudou, iQiyi, Sohu.com Inc and Leshi Internet Information & Technology Corp Beijing (LeTV), the Ministry of Culture said on its website yesterday.
The ministry’s animation “blacklisting” is part of a broader campaign to control Internet content. That includes eradicating material deemed damaging to society and the Communist Party.
The titles in question — “Blood-C,” “Terror in Resonance” and “Highschool of the Dead” — include scenes of violence, pornography, terrorism and crimes against public morality, the ministry said. “Blood-C” depicts girls fighting monsters, heavy blood-letting, the severing of limbs and beheading, while “Highschool of the Dead” features borderline-pornographic imagery, it said.
The ministry said it would despatch agencies to carry out punishment. It did not detail what that punishment would be.
The ministry told the Internet firms to enhance their mechanism for content approval.
The ministry plans to train the executive officers of the firms to improve their services, it said.
