China's State Internet Information Office has declared that they have seen outstanding results during their six-month campaign to fight online blackmail and post deletion for money services.
The ongoing campaign against illegal online behavior was successful in cleaning about 300 websites, deactivating 1.15 million accounts in social media, and removing more than nine million inappropriate posts.
The information office made the statement at a recent work status meeting that was held in Beijing. Detailed plans for the campaign's next phase against cybercrimes were also discussed during the meeting.
It also broadcast that they have given warnings to around 136 websites against unsuitable information posts. Some of the Web portals warned include the websites of China Economy, China Youth, and 110 Legal consultations.
Victims of online malpractices are urged to be involved in the trainings to be conducted by the office. They believe that is a step to learning ways on how to refuse online blackmail and post deletion for money.
Meanwhile, those who would come out and report cyber violations would be given personal privacy protection as well as financial rewards.
The information office stated that they have conducted 1,100 training sessions to about 30,000 people who are assigned to handle websites all over the country.
These trained delegates have agreed and officially signed to about 15,000 self-discipline pact with the information office, committing to keep out or not to set up any form of unlawful publicity on the Internet.
Last month, 140 top websites, such as sina.com, qq.com, baidu.com and youku.com, signed the agreement.
