China Offers Rewards for Online Porn Informers
The latest tactic in China’s ongoing battle against online pornography: cash.
Authorities are now offering rewards to informers who provide tips about pornographic Web sites, the state-run Xinhua news agency reports (in English and Chinese).
Internet users who report to the police on Web sites that contain lewd and pornographic material are eligible for rewards ranging from 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, according to a joint statement issued Friday by the China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Center and three other government departments (in Chinese), which provided phone numbers and email addresses for the public to submit information.
