More lewd sites closed

CHINA'S Internet watchdogs said yesterday that they had shut down another 68 porn Websites, bringing the total number of blocked sites to 1,575 since the national anti-porn campaign was launched a month ago.

As of Monday, 148 blogs containing pornography and "lewd" content were also closed, according to a statement issued by the office responsible for cracking down on online porn and lewd content.

More than half of the closed sites were from southeast China's provinces including Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong.

"Further measures will be made to crack down the online porn and lewd content, leaving no space for them on the Internet," an official from the office said.

The porn Websites made money mainly by charging fixed telephone or cell phone users to log on to their sites.

So far, 41 people have been detained for disseminating porn on the Internet during the campaign.
