CHINA'S Internet watchdogs today vowed to continue a crackdown on pornography and "lewd" content throughout the weeklong Spring Festival holiday in order to protect the nation's youth.
"The campaign has a single and clear goal, that is to clean up the Internet and save the Internet environment for children," said Liu Zhengrong, deputy director of the network office of the State Council's Information Office.
"Rampant pornography and lewd content on the Internet do great damage to juveniles, and we are acting in response to the public complaints," Liu said at a press conference.
He said: "A few days ago, a friend asked me if it was safe to let his 12-year-old son surf the Internet, and I felt ashamed. I told him we wouldn't stop working during the holiday to reassure all anxious parents."
Public distribution of pornography is illegal in China, and the government's crackdown ahead of the traditional Spring Festival holiday, which begins Monday, is aimed at shielding young people from online porn.
"Lewd" content includes violence, libel, private and other information that violates standards of public decency.
