      yesterday to censor "negative elements" of the Internet.

      contamination" and agreed on the need for regulation and 
      to learn from each other's experience, particularly from

      Singapore said it will concentrate on individuals or 
      organizations putting content on the Internet and the

      displays visible to others who journey there, will fall 
      under the regulations.
