On January 19th 2010, the Beijing Association of online media<\/a> established a group called Mama Jury<\/em> to censor obscene and pornographic information online. According to report from Southern Weekend<\/a>, the idea of organizing mothers to “protect” the children from pornography is originated from Western countries. However, the Chinese mother group is run by the CCP associated organization rather than by independent civic group compared to its western counterpart.<\/p>\n

Yang Heng Jun questions<\/a> the legitimacy of the “government-mother cooperation system”:<\/p>\n

First of all, who gives you the authority to “rate” the Internet content? Secondly, do you think what is unsuitable for your kids should be deleted? and those websites should be closed? Should they be banned from all the Chinese people? Even if the contents are protected by our “constitution” and not prohibited by “Criminal Law”?<\/div>\n

Let's elaborate on the principle of “children's interest come first”. If you adopt such principle to run the Internet, why don't you apply such principle to govern the real world where our children live?<\/div>\n

You can restrict your children from going online, but you cannot turn the Internet into a kindergarten or disneyland under the principle of “Children's interest comes first”… It is against the constitution and against the humanity. If we turn the Internet and the society into something that “suitable” for the children, our children would not grow up, and our adult would turn into “children”….<\/div>\n

It is obvious that the government is trying to “escorted” the whole country by positioning itself as the “parent”… The anti-vulgarity campaign is very harsh and many websites are tormenting in the cold winter. However, having the mothers holding the moral flag of “protecting the children” would help legitimating the campaign.<\/div>\n

To many concerned citizens, “Children's interest comes first” is a mere hypocritical political slogan to censor the Internet. When confronted with real issues, such as the melamine poisonous milk scandal, the government is not on the side of the parent and children. Chang Ping points out that the father, Zhao Lianhai, who investigated on the melamine poisonous milk incident was arrested in November 2009. Chang Ping resents<\/a> why all these pro-censorship mothers who claimed that they loved their children did not step out to support Zhao? And more ironically, the former head of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), Li Changchun, who resigned after the poisonous milk scandal, has recently been appointed as the vice head of the working team against pornographic and illegal information.<\/p>\n

Laotuzaizi echoes with Chang Ping's comment and suggests that the government should opened itself to the monitoring of “mothers”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Why don't we change the Mama Jury <\/em>into Mama for Government Monitor<\/em>. Let's send our mothers to the Ministry of Health, AQSIQ, the State Administration of Industry & Commerce. Let them monitor the head of department, bureau and office like the way they monitor the netizens. It would definitely work. Don't worry, I won't compete power with you. Let the mothers be under the supervision of the National Federation of Women.<\/p>\n

You can hire the laid-off woman workers, housewives to the Mother Monitor team. It can solve a lot of employment problem. It is more economical and practical than setting up the State Council Food Safety Commission. Every kind of being has its natural enemy.
