China has definitely amped up its battle against online porn with the Government's latest development which has made it impossible for any website to obtain a .cn suffix in the domain name unless the owners can prove that they are businesses or organizations registered by the Government.
Also, administer of China's domain name registrations, the China Internet Network Information Center, is looking to continue regular probes into existing domains to weed out pornographic content. Over 1,000 porn websites have been deleted by the CNNIC during this year alone, as a part of its anti-pornography campaign.
Initially, the .cn suffix for domain names was intended only for business websites, but the rule was loosely enforced and this led to its widespread abuse, and registration of the sites that were overly obscene or contained "false information".
China's anti-porn campaign was rolled out in August this year, and since then has led to closure of numerous Chinese mobile and internet sites with pornographic content.
Also, authorities are now offering rewards to anyone who shares tips which would lead to more site shutdowns.
