Internet change really clicks

Something rather unusual is happening in China. Hundreds of porn sites, as well as a Twitter client and a video-sharing site, have all been released for public viewing and no one knows why.

China is virtually in the middle of a one-year scraping of the Internet, forcefully removing any content that censors find "vulgar" so decent people can surf the net without stumbling across images of bottoms.

So it was quite a surprise when not only scores of Western porn sites were opened once more but just as many Chinese porn sites were affected - which came as the biggest revelation to me because I didn't even know there were any.
