Chinese authorities announced Monday the shutdown of mobile porn websites in a national campaign to eradicate "lewd" content from mobile phones, xinhuanet.com reported.
Relevant governmental departments are demanding an investigation into all mobile websites in each administrative area, and will close websites found to be displaying offensive content. Advertisements on mobile porn websites and illicit behaviors like providing Net access, increment services and payment agencies for mobile porn websites will be removed in the campaign.
The move is the latest in a string of crack downs on pornographic and lewd content on the Internet.
In late October, authorities banned 1,414 pornographic online literature. About 30,000 web links of banned works and 20 pornographic literature websites were closed by the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP), according to reports.
