韩国将封锁更多外国色情网站

South Korea to Block More Foreign Pornographic Web Sites

South Korea"s government says it will block an additional 180 foreign pornographic Web sites by May as part of a campaign against local Internet portals with sexual content. South Korea"s Ministry of Information and Communications says the move is aimed at eliminating access to Web sites containing obscene material that could be viewed by minors.

Seoul is stepping up its crackdown on Internet pornography after sexually-explicit video clips were recently posted onto major South Korean portals. The clips became the most widely-viewed videos in South Korea for several hours before they were deleted. The South Korean ministry also said Monday it will strengthen a task force that filters out pornographic Internet material around the clock. South Korea has widespread high-speed Internet access and a large percentage of the population uses computers and other electronic communications devices regularly.

韩国政府表示， 将在5月前再封锁180家外国色情网站，打击色情门户网站。韩国信息和通讯部说，这次行动的目的是封锁那些含有未成年人可以进入的具有淫秽内容的网站。

首尔目前正在加大打击网上色情的力度，因为最近韩国的一些主要网站贴出了具有明显色情内容的录像。这些片段被删除前已经成为观看人数最多的录像片段。韩国信息和通讯部星期一还表示， 将加强昼夜滤除网上色情内容的行动小组的力量。韩国的高速上网非常普及，大部份人口经常使用电脑和其他电子通讯装置。
