The Internet Access Service Business Management Regulation details strict
rules that forbid underage people from entering web cafes or other Internet
business premises. It states that Internet access business premises may not
allow underage people to enter, and that businesses must have everyone who
enters clearly sign in to ensure that no underage person gains entrance. The
regulation also details related fines and penalties. According to the Underage
Protection Law, an underage person is a citizen under the age of 18.
To ensure that this regulation is enforced effectively, visitors to web cafes
must sign when entering and the business operators must carry out inspections
inside the cafes.
The city's cultural administrative authorities will impose strict penalties
on violators. Cafes which accept underage patrons and thereby contribute to
social problems, or which accept underage patrons on three or more occasions
will have to suspend operations for renovation or will have their business
licence revoked. The public is encouraged to help supervise the operation of web
cafes. |
