China declares war on Internet porn

Apparently China doesnt like porn. The government has labelled porn as an “Enemy of the people” and are giving porn websites located in China until september to purge themselves of this nasty stuff.

The Internet cultural revolution is not a big job. Officials have, after much research and downloading, identified only 500 websites across the whole of China which show stuff which is an enema of the party.
