Sixty mothers have been selected from a shortlist to join the "Mom Jury" in a bid to clean up the Internet and safeguard children from porn, Qianlong.com reported.

The program these volunteers joined up Friday in Beijing were part of a nationwide campaign that has already shut down more than 15,000 porn websites in 2009.

Their first day as Internet guardian angels started with a training session on adolescence education by the group's organizer, Beijing Association of Online Media, whose program has already attracted a pool of over 200 mothers waiting to join the online tutelary corps.

The protective mothers will tip off Internet watchdog agencies about online indecency deemed harmful for adolescent Internet users, along with a jury proposal on countermeasures, and help monitor the enforcing process.

The jury board is open to new applications as backup members, according to the report.

GUANGZHOU: Authorities in Guangdong province are considering suspending mobile phone numbers if they are found sending more than 300 pornographic or spam text messages in an hour.

Gu Weizhong, director of the Guangdong Communications Administration, revealed the plan at a group discussion during the session of the Guangdong provincial political consultative conference.

Once the phone numbers are suspended, an investigation will be launched to determine whether any illegal acts are involved and if so, the numbers will be revoked, Gu said.

Responding to concerns that phone numbers might be suspended for sending isolated, private jokes following the latest move, Gu said the freedom of communications between phone users will be guaranteed and the authorities will be able to make distinctions between such messages and pornographic ones through "technological means".

The numbers previously suspended were all found to have been involved in illegal acts, he said.

In 2008, a similar regulation was implemented in Guangdong to intercept illegal or spam messages and blacklist the numbers involved.

Any such messaging is defined as illegal with limits of 300 such text messages in an hour, or 200 for a number of mobile network operators; or 1,000 of the messages sent a day; or 100 multimedia messages an hour or 500 a day. The limits are three times higher during holidays.

Apart from these limits on the number of messages, key word searches and analysis are also used to screen out illegal messages before results are evaluated and approved by the relevant authorities.

Phone numbers that have their messaging functions suspended are only able to resume with police approval.

"The hourly limit of 300 messages helps indicate that any suspicious activity goes beyond communication between friends and families, and some intervention may become necessary," said Liu Wei, a businessman in Guangzhou.

About 900,000 mobile phone numbers had their messaging functions suspended for sending out illegal or spam messages in Guangdong last year, said Yang Yuncai, director of the information safety division of the Guangdong Communications Administration.

"We do not rule out the possibility that some ordinary users had their accounts wrongfully suspended, but we have not received any complaints on that," Yang said earlier this month.

China Mobile in Beijing and Shanghai also threatened to suspend users over "illegal or unhealthy" content.

The National Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Publications Office held an awards ceremony January 8 to reward those who had contributed commendable acts in reporting pornographic websites. Among them, a college student from Shanxi province was amply rewarded 10,000 yuan for reporting 32 pornographic websites by writing letters.

According to the student, he wrote the letters to arouse public concern and the 32 pornographic websites he reported have all been closed down, but in the eyes of the student from Shanxi province, these 32 pornographic websites are just a drop in the ocean.

The student added that he had done very well in his studies in high school, and should have been admitted into an undergraduate college, but he only got into a junior college because of the impact of pornographic websites, and now regrets a lot.

Like this student, other informants from Beijing, Hebei province and other places also received cash rewards ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 yuan.

China launched Tuesday a new round of harsh crackdown on spreading pornographic content through Internet or mobile WAP sites to "purify the social environment," government sources said.

The campaign, running from December to next May, was initiated by nine central government departments, aiming to "resolutely eradicate pornographic and vulgar content on the Internet and mobile WAP sites and clean up the online and mobile media environment," according to a teleconference.

The targets of this round of crackdown are Web sites containing obscenity that "seriously threatens minors' mental health."

The authorities are going to shut down Web sites that "seriously violate law," punish criminals and investigate companies that profit from collecting fees for porn Web sites so as to cut off their interest chain, it said.

According to the teleconference, online pornography is still rampant and some Internet operators use obscene information to pursue high clicking rate and profit. "Their lack of social responsibility provides soil for the development of porn Web sites."

The departments launching the campaign include the International Communication Office of the Communist Party of China(CPC) Central Committee, the national office against pornographic and illegal publication, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry if Public Security and the Ministry of Culture.

Tainted dairy prompts new safety probe

Authorities launched a campaign yesterday to look into food safety problems including the recent discovery that tainted milk from 2008 were used to make ice cream bars and other products sold just weeks ago.

The announcement came two years after six children died after consuming melamine-tainted milk.

The discovery prompted authorities to launch a 10-day campaign to "thoroughly and comprehensively investigate food safety risks."

Huang Ying, an officer in the food department at Lanzhou Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision of Gansu Province, where several children got kidney stones after using melamine-tainted milk, told the Global Times yesterday they launched a probe Sunday at the direction of the central government.

"We will conduct sample tests once a week at dairy companies as well as thoroughly test all the dairy products sold here," said Huang.

The stepped up practice came after several cases of milk products with excessive melamine were discovered.

Melamine, which in large quantities may lead to kidney stones and kidney failure, is a cheap additive used illegally with watered-down milk to make it appear to have a higher protein content.

A week ago, officials in Guizhou Province announced that four dairy companies sold products in the province with high levels of melamine, and the companies involved blamed suppliers for the contamination.

The four companies were Shanghai Panda Dairy Company, which was already shut down before the official announcement in Guizhou, Zibo Lusaier Dairy Company, Tieling Wuzhou Food Company and the Laoting Kaida Refrigeration Plant.

Prior to this, the authorities in Northwest China's Shaanxi Province confiscated over five tons of problematic milk powder in December, in which 275 kilograms were found with excessive melamine.

According to a report later released by the local police, the inspection authority detected the tainted milk powder by Shanxi Jinqiao Diary Company back in October 2008. At that time, regulators sealed up the products in the company's warehouse but never destroyed them. That left "a chance for the company to change the labels and resell the products."

"There were still some leftovers in the dealers' hands that nobody cared about," Wang Dingmian, former chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Dairy Association told the China Economic News.

According to Wang, the recently reported cases of contaminated milk products are related to products stashed away during the 2008 milk powder. Wang is worried that insufficient follow-up into those tainted milk could lead to a surge of similar cases.

During the 2008 milk scandal, 69 batches of tainted milk products weighing approximately 10,000 tons, were recalled.

Hu Xiaosong, a professor specializing in food security, told the Global Times that regulators failed to fulfill their duties.

"Those concerned companies should be closed and their chiefs should be arrested," he said, urging a more complete inquiry into the problem.
The chief of the Office of the Guangzhou Diary Industry Administration downplayed the adverse effects of the problem.

"These are only isolated cases that are uncommon in the dairy industry in China," he said.
