South Korea Starts 'War Against Pornography'


The South Korean government has started a multilevel "war against pornography," intended "to fight against lewd material on television, the Internet and elsewhere, in order to prevent children from accessing sexually explicit content that sometimes leads to sex crimes," according to the Korea Times.

The government crackdown came after offenders in recent gang rapes among elementary school students in Daegu testified that they got ideas from pornography online and erotic films on cable television. Separate research by the Ministry of Health in 2007 said 88 percent of teens that have watched pornography said they got it online.
