China's war on porn has taken down nearly a hundred websites so far, and there's no sign of stopping anytime soon. Ninety-one websites have been taken offline for hosting or pointing to pornographic and "vulgar" content since last Thursday, according to the state-run news agency Xinhua, and authorities are continuing to crack down on sites that the government doesn't feel is appropriate for young people.

Pornography has been and is still illegal in China, but it's not difficult to get, thanks to technology and the Internet. China attempts to block access to porn through its infamous Great Firewall, but even that has its flaws and determined users can still seek out the uh, "relief" they need without much searching.

The Chinese government has repeatedly condemned Internet pornography for "perverting China's young minds," which has led to its newest initiative to "purify the Internet." Two of the sites shut down over the weekend include www.789b.com and www.678tp.cn, neither of which have been accessible since Sunday, and there are more on the way. "Authorities have vowed to beef up crackdown efforts in the following days and urged law-breakers to voluntarily turn themselves in to local public security departments," noted Xinhua.

Now, not only is China looking at sites that host vulgar content, it also has search engines like Baidu and Google in its crosshairs for not doing enough to block links to porn in an "efficient" manner. In fact, authorities named some 33 sites for merely linking to porn in an attempt to shame them into complying. But while the companies may be able to reduce some of their links to the more obvious porn sites, it will be no small feat to attempt to eliminate them altogether. The Internet moves quickly and search engines index new content almost as fast. Whether Google or Baidu will be able to meet China's demands remains to be seen, but we're sure glad we're not the ones trying to figure out how to do it.
