Helen Coonan, the Communications Minister of Australia, announced that the government is set to introduce a new wave of laws to protect children online.
Senator Coonan indicated that the Internet needs some "regulatory framework" just as the print and broadcast media do. Protecting children from exposure to harmful material will be a critical part of that framework.
In China the Ministry of Public Security announced that over the next 6 months 10 departments of the Chinese government will work together to tackle activities associated with pornography on the Internet
"The boom of pornographic content on the Internet has contaminated cyberspace and perverted China's young minds." according to Zhang Xinfeng, a Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Public Security.
Mr. Zhang also validated concerns that this is a global problem stating that the inflow of pornography from abroad is at the heart of China's Internet pornography problem.
Internet pornography is a global problem and is of great concern to many countries around the world. The nature of the problem demands a global solution that will enable nations, communities, and families what is appropriate and acceptable in their environments.
