China Shuts more than 8,600 Internet Cafes

eWeek has an article which says since February, China has 'helped' it's children and teenagers by shutting down over 8,600 Internet Cafes. The reason? Because the kids might be exposed to pornography or harmful video games .
"China strictly controls information in the nation's media and holds Internet service providers responsible for online content.
Internet cafes that admit minors "have brought great harm to the mental health of teenagers and interfered with the school teaching, which has aroused strong reaction from the public," the General Administration for Industry and Commerce said in a statement, as reported by Xinhua."

Sarcasm alert: It's a good thing China has stepped in for these delinquent parents that would let their kids look at porn and play harmful games on the net. :roll:

Jeez! that's harsh .
I guess the old republic still has a firm grip. I just hope no one has to lie down in front of a tank over this !
Hey! maybe we should have a crisis relief and ship all the old devices back to china so people can get on line via their mobiles

Knelson,
That was straight up truthful.
