Chinese porn revisited
20/11/07
Beijing leaders are determined not to allow pornography to detract their workforce from a path to miraculous economic growth. Bottom line, the authorities think that by banning internet porn, they can stop people on the chain gang, I mean, on the production line, from wasting time thinking about sex!! Wrong.
Prohibition makes people even more distracted, as they ponder for hours and days how to circumvent the law to get a good look at some nooky.
Anti-porn measures
The Chinese government has convinced 4000 cosmetics sites to ban links to off-shore porn providers. I wonder what the letter said.
Comrade, cut the porn links now, or instead of selling cosmetics you will be testing cosmetics - not on animals like in civilised countries, but on your babies.
The authorities are also muscling the Chinese equivalent of PayPal to monitor all payments details and stop any transactions involving purchases of a lewd nature. I guess the bottom will soon fall out of the on-line trade in Chinese pussy cats and cockerels.
Anti porn flailing
It seems as though the direct threats are working locally, but not even the great firewall of China, a real-life Big Brother firewall, is stopping the inexorable penetration of overseas porn-based traffic into China.

The squeaky clean Pisstakers were banned from China, but some 60% of pornographic naughtiness is beamed into China by determined others, from beyond the jurisdiction of zealous Chinese officials. The Govt are now working on a few subtle addenda to agreements with trading partners.
We will sell you all the cheap furniture, clothing and noodles you want, as long as you shut down your porn sites.
That should cause some uncomfortable moments in places like Indonesia, where a certain politician rues his involvement with porn. But in the US, it is well known that links to porn makes money for American darlings and money means potential campaign funding and votes, and...
We will follow the Chinese porn situation closely, (albeit from a distance, if you know what I mean, Beijing.) And a loud shout out to VNUNET for the inspiration
