STUDENT ORGANIZES ONE-DAY INTERNET STRIKE IN CHINA
Nanjing University economics student Huang Zhenqiang is organizing a one-day
Internet strike to protest the access rates charged by government monopoly
China Telecom. China Telecom charges about $30 to $40 for 20 hours of
Internet use, or about one-fourth of the average monthly salary in that
country. (AP/San Jose Mercury News 25 Nov 98)
JAPAN IS NUMBER ONE IN CHILD PORNOGRAPHY ON THE INTERNET
With about 1,200 commercial child pornography sites, Japan leads the world
in that ugly business. Former Japan cabinet minister Mayumi Moriyama says,
"No nation that values democracy and freedom should condone child
pornography." He's pushing new legislation that, if passed, would prevent
pornographers from skirting existing laws. (USA Today 24 Nov 98)
CHINA MAINTAINS TIGHT CONTROL OF INTERNET
In a continuing effort to restrict Internet use in China, the Chinese
government is charging 30-year-old Shanghai computer software businessman
Lin Hai with "inciting the overthrow of state power" by providing 30,000
e-mail addresses to a U.S. Internet magazine called "Big Reference"
published by Chinese dissidents. (AP 25 Nov 98)
