Good results have been achieved.
Recently, the Ministry of Public Security guided the public security organs in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan and other places to successfully detect 10 major cases of Internet dissemination of obscene materials, involving more than 1.5 billion yuan.
On the 7th, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference to inform the public security organs of the country to promote the high-quality development of public security work in the past two years, and make every effort to maintain the country’s political security and social stability.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: In November 2020, the Ministry of Public Security established a working mechanism for "anti-pornography and illegality". What results have been achieved since the establishment of the mechanism?
What are the next steps?
Zhang Ming pointed out that to carry out the work of "anti-pornography and illegality" is the need to maintain a good order in the cultural market and to purify the social and cultural environment.
The Ministry of Public Security resolutely implemented the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, organized local public security agencies to solidly promote anti-pornography work, confiscated a large number of illegal and harmful publications and propaganda materials, cleared a large number of illegal and harmful information on the Internet, and effectively purified the culture and network environment.
Zhang Ming introduced that since the beginning of this year, public security organs in various places have focused on the issue of online obscenity and pornography that the people have reported strongly in accordance with the deployment requirements of the Ministry of Public Security, focusing on online social platforms, forum communities, search engines, pop-up advertisements, online disk libraries, etc. The main communication channels, as well as short videos, live webcasts, online literature, online games, and other major communication fields, severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities on the Internet, especially the dissemination of child pornographic information, and inducing and coercing minors to live pornographically and other illegal crimes in accordance with the law. In the activity, we insist on acting immediately upon hearing the police, attacking on the spot, and rigorous investigation and punishment, creating a clear cyberspace, and effectively protecting the physical and mental health of youth.
In response to key cases involving large numbers of people, large areas involved, complex cases, and minors, we dig deep into behind-the-scenes gangs, destroy the source of the crime, and implement full-link and full-chain targeted attacks on organizers, operators, service providers, and profit-makers , Dig deep into the black and gray industry chain of source code development, technical operation and maintenance, domain name provision, CDN acceleration, server provision, fourth-party payment, and agent promotion.
Zhang Ming said that in the next step, the Ministry of Public Security will instruct local public security agencies to continuously innovate their skills and tactics, always maintain a high-pressure and severe crackdown on the production and dissemination of obscene materials, highlight the protection of minors, and resolutely eliminate all kinds of cultural waste to celebrate the founding of the party. Create a good social security environment for the 100th anniversary.
