Classification system for internet content can better protect children

China Daily | Updated: 2016-08-26 08:36

THE LATEST DATA from the China Internet Network Information Center show that the number of people with access to the internet in China was 710 million in June. Of them, 23 percent are below the age of 19, while 20.6 million are below the age of 10. A comment on Guangzhou Daily calls for a classification system for websites so as to better protect minors:

There used to be a time when the internet was considered harmful to children, so adults simply banned their children from surfing the internet. Yet this is no longer practical today, because the idea of demonizing the internet is no longer trusted by people.

If someone were to say "the internet is evil", it might have been applauded 15 years ago, but now people will laugh at such a statement.
