China Pays Web Surfers to Find Porn

From the Times of India:

Cha-ChaChinese authorities have offered rewards of up to 10,000 yuan ($1,465) to internet users who report websites that feature pornography, state media reported on Sunday… Within the first 24 hours, a hotline set up on Friday by Internet Illegal Information Reporting Centre was flooded with more than 500 phone calls and 13,000 online tips, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The centre is looking for websites and mobile phone-accessible sites that contain obscene material or advertise sex products, the report said. Rewards ranging from 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan will go to the first person to report each website, the centre said in a notice, adding a committee would review the tipoffs to determine what award was appropriate, Xinhua said.
