China shuts down 60,000 porn sites

In its fight against online sex-Zockerei and violence, the Chinese Government reported a success: 60,000 pornographic sites are offline, the struggle goes on - now to Skype. Also in the news summary: warns Hadopi per day 2000 file sharers and the FBI investigated Anonymous leader. The Chinese government has on Thursday announced it has switched off within a year more than 60,000 porn Web sites - a great success for Beijing's ambitions to control China's access to the Internet better.


Until late November, Wang Chen was the press office announced the Chinese cabinet, you've scoured 1.8 million sites, 60,000 of them shut down because of pornographic content, arrested 58 people in connection with the sex sites and for each of at least five years jail. China has online pornography, violent content and the Internet gambling declared war - and report regularly successes.

Probably continue: Cabinet spokesman Wang announced that Internet and violence will not disappear from the Internet and therefore advance the action against the unwanted sites, "This special operation to root out online pornography, and profanity is not the end - this is a long struggle.

" China is the world's largest online population: more than 450 million Chinese surf regularly, whether at home, internet cafe, or web-enabled mobile phones. China's Internet is fenced: Filter to keep the government away as unwanted marked content from the Chinese Internet censors monitor the Internet communications inside.

How much is proved by the next message: China Against Internet telephony China wants the Internet telephony can better control and announces massive action against "illegal" VoIP telephony (Voice over Internet Protocol, a standard for transmitting telephone calls over data networks) to.

to China's Minister of Industry and Information Technology said in a brief public announcement that he wants to shut down "illegal" telephone services and set up a hotline that can display the Chinese such services. Goal: Internet telephony, it is to be only from the hands of state-owned telecommunications company - which can in turn monitor better than the often anonymous, encrypted, in relatively protected third-party monitoring.

Among them is particularly likely, as Skype are among the best-known VoIP provider Skype works in China usually excellent. Know that too many Chinese surfers and keep a critical phone calls and chats sensitive, without having them look over the shoulder of a censor. The prohibition of independent VoIP services should still have a different reason: These services are in competition with China's state-owned telephone companies - much higher prices per minute charge, sometimes up to 15 times ...

France's copyright authority warned 100 000 alleged file sharers, the French anti-filesharing Hadopi authority has communicated that they had sent in October 2010 already 100,000 e-mail warnings to suspected file sharers. These warnings are the first of three steps towards the expulsion from the Internet, the French Internet surfers threatened, they should can be observed to file-sharing.

But the French rights exploiters 100 000 warnings in three months is not enough: you should submit daily allegedly 50000-70000 warning applications to the Hadopi a - forward of where the Authority, only about 2,000. (Wish the French Ministry of Culture once at least 10,000 warnings per day) with good reason: the Hadopi leaders defend against the charge of inertia: "The Commission to protect the rights against Internet piracy is not a speed trap," it said in an open letter in "Le Monde": "Your job is more educational." Especially Hadopi was designated from the start as "draconian" institution "blind follow every Internet user, who once had a song, a movie, a TV series for download." With its allegations, the culture industry rights of the Authority in the back.

So it is not very useful to discuss figures: "Our job is not quantitative, since it is clearly pointless to fix the effectiveness of legal protection on the basis of a number of 'criminals'." Pay Hadopi then called it: in the "Le Figaro" said an official of that 15 percent of the players cautioned by mail to the warning mail replied: Many were puzzled because the specific allegations, which work had been illegally downloaded, uploaded, or, missing in the letter.

Most users would confess: "Yes, yes, I downloaded and swear never to do it again." Other words, it would cry and invent crazy stories. Server search: FBI goes to Anonymous from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has reportedly can browse the server rooms of a web hosting company in Texas and seize in cooperation with other international agencies Servers to the anonymous leader of the hacktivists group Anonymous locate to that make the denial of service against PayPal Attackten planned and implemented.

How difficult is it shows a trail that led to Germany: One of the pursued in the action IP addresses led to a German ISP, the server in question was but the BKA, according to a man from France - but NOT as administrator of the Web attacks occurred - access to the server in turn, had a different person.

"The Smoking Gun" describes the problems as thoroughly as it is based on the bad file as it stands. Important message for the would-be hackers and Web lynch mob: Anonymous is probably first anonymous. Background: PayPal was - along with other companies such as Mastercard and Visa - by Anonymous identified as a target after the company refused to forward donations to the informants site Wikileaks.

Anonymous is leaderless per se - the concrete sets targets but probably a small group of determined people, whose influence is purely determined from subscribers to its targets coordinates. They feed the attack software LOIC from a distance with addresses of servers that are then taken by voluntary accomplices under software fire, until they collapse.
