China shuts "obscene and lascivious" dating websites

TOP NEWS

Sites closed included ones with names like “Get a one-night stand” and “Playing with you net”, Xinhua said, citing the Cyberspace Administration of China.

“These websites allowed the use of false identities at will to register … or spread obscene and lascivious content,” the report said. “The circumstances were serious and the effects terrible.”

State media said last week that the regulator would target fraud on dating websites and other online match-making sites.

China exercises tight control over the Internet, saying that it is needed to ensure social stability and morality and to protect consumers, brushing off concerns of censorship from rights groups. – Reuters
