Action to eradicate Internet sex ads

The latest campaign to clean up cyberspace was launched yesterday by the government.

According to a notice jointly released by 12 ministries taking part in the scheme - among them the State Administration for Industry & Commerce and the Ministry of Health - the campaign aims to curb the growing number of illegal advertisements for sex-related health supplements, STD drugs and clinics, and sex toys.

It is scheduled to run through next February.
