BEIJING (AP) -- China's police ministry on Sunday handed out rewards of up to $240 to people who reported pornographic Web sites in a campaign to stamp out online smut, the government said.

Some 445 people have been arrested and 1,125 Web sites shut down with the help of public tips since July, the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing the Ministry of Public Security.

The ministry handed out rewards of $60 to $240, Xinhua said, but it didn't say how many people received them.

China encourages Internet use for education and business but bans sexually oriented content on its own Web sites and tries to block access to foreign sites deemed pornographic or subversive.

The online crackdown is part of a sweeping official morality campaign launched this year on orders from communist leaders.

Television stations, video game makers and other suppliers of popular culture have been ordered to reduce or eliminate violent or sexually oriented content

240$...well:winkwink:

Do these guys know our Attorney General? :321GFY

hmmm $240 per chinese ip traffic :)

heh you could buy a shitload of useless china traffic and just make it an email form to the chinese police.

lol :1orglaugh

That's a lot of bling in china :)

:warning

That's 8 months income to most Chinese peasants. Don't laugh. That would be like the DOJ offering $40K rewards in the US.

9/10 of this board would snitch.

:1orglaugh

Their government is on a crusade against internet porn but I don't see it lasting.

Of course, a country that has a billion people doesn't have sex and doesn't have porn either :arcadefre

$240 is a large reward for peasants. But it's not them who have access to computers. The people that do have access to the internet couldn't care less about that kind of money.

They would snitch for easy $50 if they could

I'm going to make a deal with them and they can catch 3 guys from the US shooting in Beijing right now... catch them at the airport with about 100 mini DVs of exploited Chinese girls. :1orglaugh

I'll get paid, and they will be executed.

:ak47:

That money could be well spent elsewhere. Silly fuckers.
