Man gets life imprisonment for p0rn
Found on The Inquirer on Sunday, 05 September 2004
The chinese government is bringing in even tougher penalties against internet porn peddlers.
Those caught for 'serious offenses' could now face life imprisonment while less serious cases could result in compulsory surveillance, detainment, taking into custody by the police.
Just in case you were wondering what the Chinese would consider a 'serious' case. Xinhua kindly points out that any pornographic Web site that had been clicked on more than 250,000 times would be considered a "very severe" case that could warrant a life sentence for its owners.
I guess it would be easier for China to launch its own internet and cut off all outgoing connections to this dangerous Internet. Something like Chinanet.
