The war on porn goes east
Strictly News (via) reports that both Russia and South Korea have given up trying to deal with the various social and economic issues they are facing and are cracking down on porn instead.
Russian politicians and public figures at all levels have been releasing regular, but ineffective, statements demanding an end to pornography for several years. But now the Russian culture ministry is drafting a bill to limit the distribution of erotic and pornographic products which they expect to be submitting in the second half of this year.
Meanwhile, the South Korean government has declared war on “obscene material” and has announced plans to block access to foreign pornography on the internet.
Ministry of Information and Communication information safety department head Lee Tae Hee also said measures would be taken to step up surveillance of the internet.
That’s handy.
