Just a quick update, China has decided to shut down public access to sexual health websites and any website which contains scientific information on sex or reproduction. This is part of its latest assault on "pornography", which China seems to really have a hard-on against.
"It is prohibited to spread pornographic content in the name of sex-related scientific research." The regulations say.
This is odd because normally Chinese authoritarianism is somewhat related to the pursuit of order and economic development. This, however, seems to be entirely motivated by massively dangerous priggishness, the type you wouldn't expect to see outside of a religious fundamentalist regime.
Luckily, it's part of China's "Green Dam" censorship software, which has already been defeated by diligent hacktivists, who've released "Green Tsunami".
