Internet pornography has always been a social headache. Although the government has taken a series of measures to crack down on this illegal behavior, adult websites continue to be banned and spread vulgar content with impunity.
So why can't the state shut down all adult sites altogether, and how do they make a profit?

Endangering society
According to statistics, a considerable number of juvenile offenders' vicious behaviors are related to long-term addiction to adult websites.
These children's brains are not yet mature, have poor self-control, and are easily influenced and bewitched by bad information.
In the long run, their concept of right and wrong has gradually blurred, their moral bottom line has been declining, and they even regard crime as a "stimulus" and "achievement".

Adult websites are filled with a lot of unsightly pornographic, bloody, and horror content, which can be said to be harmful to children's physical and mental health.
These cruel and vulgar messages can seriously stimulate the fragile nerves of minors and cause psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
Some children are in a state of high spirits for a long time, irritable and irritable, and their studies and life are completely disrupted.

What's more, some teenagers will misunderstand and be curious about the criminal behavior on adult websites, and then imitate and implement them in real life, resulting in irreparable tragedy.
There are also some criminals who use adult websites to disseminate child pornography, which seriously violates the privacy and human dignity of minors.
Criminals even take advantage of loopholes to place advertisements with gray content such as gambling and loans on adult websites. Some adult websites also divert traffic with industries such as pornography and gambling to induce users to place bets.

The two sides rely on each other, attract customers to each other, and maximize the time and money of consumers.
According to incomplete statistics from the media, the annual income of adult websites can reach hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan.
Launched a network clearance operation
In order to rectify the chaos of online pornography and protect the healthy growth of minors, the state has carried out the "Clean Internet Campaign" for many years in a row, cracking down on adult websites that violate laws and regulations.

The state has adopted a series of comprehensive measures, including improving laws and regulations, implementing territorial management, strictly investigating key platforms, smoothing complaint channels, and strengthening international cooperation.
In terms of improving laws and regulations, the National People's Congress has successively revised the Criminal Law and the Law on the Protection of Minors, clarifying the responsibilities of Internet enterprises to protect minors, and increasing the degree of punishment for the production and dissemination of obscene and pornographic information.

The State Council has also issued the "Opinions" to provide a legal basis and action guidelines for the "Clean Internet Action". This provides a powerful legal weapon in the fight against online pornography.
In terms of implementing territorial management, local departments such as for internet information, public security, and culture have closely cooperated to identify websites engaged in pornography business in their jurisdictions, and jointly carry out cleanup and rectification.

They shut down websites with conclusive evidence in accordance with the law and severely punished the persons in charge of the websites. All provinces have also established a blacklist system, including enterprises that have repeatedly refused to change their ways, and implemented joint punishment for untrustworthiness to form a deterrent effect.
For those websites that have serious violations such as diversion and promotion, false information of legal representatives, etc., the regulatory authorities will deal with them strictly and severely, and will not be soft.

In terms of unblocking channels for complaints, the internet information department has set up a special complaint area for "clean nets", publicizing the telephone number and email address for reports, encouraging the general public to actively participate in supervision, and promptly providing clues on adult websites.
The results are remarkable
Under the continuous heavy blow of the state, the living space of adult websites has been greatly compressed. Law enforcement agencies continue to maintain a high-pressure and hard-hitting posture against pornographic websites, shutting down and severely punishing illegal websites with an iron fist, forming a strong legal deterrent.

In addition, the Cyberspace Administration of China, in conjunction with relevant departments, will continue to improve the network supervision mechanism, and comprehensively use artificial intelligence, big data and other technical means to improve the ability to detect, identify, and deal with crackdowns.
Under strict legal and administrative controls, the number of adult websites has been greatly reduced, and the existing websites have been forced into "marginalization".
The last remaining websites had to scale back and control risk, and they were far less big and influential than they once were. There are very few new pornographic websites, and it is difficult to form a "prairie fire".

Some websites that seem to be normal, but in fact conceal pornographic information, have been completely uncovered and punished in accordance with the law in this round of crackdown.
While the state strictly controls it, Internet companies are also actively assuming social responsibilities and consciously resisting and purifying pornographic and harmful information.
Some key platform websites are to start within enterprises, extensively carry out special self-inspections, establish and complete mechanisms for handling pornographic information, and explore the use of cutting-edge technologies to increase the timeliness and accuracy of screening pornographic content.

Some enterprises have also actively participated in special rectification actions such as "sword networks" and "clean networks", and have taken the initiative to take measures to curb the spread of pornographic information.
In the face of the red line of national laws and the requirements of social morality, many Internet companies are purifying their platform ecology, earnestly fulfilling their corporate citizenship responsibilities, and conveying a positive value orientation.
At the same time, the awareness of the rule of law and self-discipline among the vast number of netizens has been further enhanced, and the social atmosphere of consciously resisting and reporting pornographic information has become increasingly strong.

Some regions have also innovated methods of publicity and education, guiding the masses to protect their rights and interests in accordance with laws and regulations, and forming a social consensus and a consciousness of action to combat online pornography.
At present, the effectiveness of the state's governance of online pornography is gradually emerging, and the participation of Internet enterprises, all sectors of society, and netizens is increasing, and a strong joint force has been formed to combat and resist pornography online and offline.
As the chaos of online pornography is further curbed, a civilized and healthy cyberspace is being built, and a clean and upright online ecology is becoming more and more prominent.

It is difficult to cure
Although the state has adopted a series of comprehensive measures to combat online pornography and has achieved certain results, it is still difficult to completely curb adult websites in a short period of time.
First of all, from a technical point of view, the openness and anonymity of the Internet pose a huge challenge to completely shut down adult websites.
Information source: All the content stated in this article is reproduced by reliable information sources, please watch it rationally at the end of the article
Adult websites often use proxy servers, rapid domain name changes, mirror sites, and other means to evade the detection and blocking of regulatory authorities.
In addition, some adult websites are ostensibly normal but spread pornography through covert means such as dark links, secondary pages, etc. They tend to be very camouflaged and not easily noticeable.
Even if the regulatory authorities invest a lot of manpower and material resources to strictly guard around the clock, loopholes will inevitably appear. This undoubtedly makes the net cleanup operation as difficult as "whack-a-mole".

Even large-scale manual testing and high-intensity technical investment are difficult to ensure that adult websites and information do not recur. This has undoubtedly increased the difficulty factor of the action to clean up the network and lengthened the cycle of struggle.
The proliferation of adult websites not only reflects the lack of rule of law and ethics on the Internet, but also reflects certain social problems, and more importantly, the reason why adult websites have a market reflects some social problems and moral dilemmas.

Some people are affected by vulgar culture, and their morals are anomie and their views are not correct; In some places, social management is lagging behind and cultural life is lacking.
Some schools and families are not very targeted in terms of outlook on life and sex education. If these deep-seated contradictions are not fundamentally alleviated, they will inevitably breed more colored eyes and erotic consumption, providing soil for adult websites.
If we fail to implement comprehensive policies and systematic governance in terms of the rule of law, culture, education, etc., the effect of online governance will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Blindly shutting down and filtering pornographic information, but the demand for colored eyes and erotic consumption is still strong in reality, which will inevitably make new adult websites continue to emerge, and even move to more hidden underground.
The combination of plugging and dredging can cure the problem at its root
For a long time, our governance of adult websites has often been more passive defense and passive containment, hoping to solve the problem by "blocking".
However, facts have repeatedly proved that simply banning and shutting down adult websites is not satisfactory.

Driven by strong market demand and interests, there are always people who take risks. The harder the crackdown, the stronger the backlash is likely to be, and the more underground and covert pornography may become.
At the same time, one-sided "blocking" can also easily lead to new social problems, such as the possibility of promoting sexual crimes and exacerbating unhealthy sexual psychology.
The morbidly repressed sexual psychology can also be more distorted and overflowing. It can be seen that negative "blocking" is not only difficult to cure the problem, but may bring side effects.

Therefore, while maintaining a severe crackdown on illegal websites, it may be a more rational and pragmatic way of dealing with both the symptoms and the root causes.
This requires us to change our mindset and face up to the reasonable needs of human nature while strengthening supervision. It is necessary to guide people with healthy and positive content, rather than blindly suppressing them.
For example, enriching the cultural life of the masses, providing more healthy and uplifting spiritual food, and guiding people to participate in meaningful work, study, cultural and sports activities, so as to sublimate emotional sustenance.

At the same time, government departments, schools, families, and social organizations should also work closely together to pay attention to juvenile education, psychological counseling, social assistance, and other source management, to help the public, especially young people, develop healthy concepts, outlook on life, and values, and consciously stay away from and resist harmful pornographic content.
When necessary, relevant departments and institutions should also do a good job of psychological counseling and social assistance efforts, giving necessary assistance to people who are deeply involved in pornographic content, resolving negative factors, and preventing problems from worsening.

While having zero tolerance for websites that violate laws and regulations, it is also necessary to do a good job of education and guidance, and use positive guidance to resolve negative factors, so as to ultimately maximize the governance effect.
The complete closure of adult websites requires the close cooperation of departments such as for internet information, publicity, culture, and education, to form a joint force for joint management.
Strengthen school and family education, guide people, especially young people, to develop a correct outlook on life and values, improve the quality of social civilization, and consciously resist harmful information.

Only by interlocking, comprehensively advancing, and forming a joint force of co-governance online and offline, can we finally get rid of the stubborn social disease of adult websites.
This requires the joint participation of the government and all sectors of society, and only by uniting as one and persevering can we continue to make new progress and usher in a more upright cyberspace.
