New regulation restricts sex info on Internet

Access to information about sex on the Internet will be further restricted under a new regulation by the Ministry of Health.

Under the regulation, which will come into effect on July 1, websites that link to sex-related studies and research can be accessed only by health professionals and researchers.

Under the new regulation, the MOH will better manage and monitor health-related websites, which are already required to be approved and registered with health authorities, said an official surnamed Yang with MOH's information office yesterday.
