Purveyors of rumours, flirty teens, dodgy infomercials, or bloody violence all told to get in the bin – yet again
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has shared its spring-cleaning plans with the world – and suggested it's time to make the Middle Kingdom's web sites sparkle with wholesome content.
The Admin's edict lists many net nasties that it wants removed. But there's not much new on the list – most of the items have already been the subject of warnings or bans.
At the top of the list is violent content, which China has never wanted online.
Fake news and rumours are next, again neither a newcomer to lists of things Chinese netizens have been told not to do.
Indeed, just last week Chinese media reported on a document containing investment rules for local internet companies. The CAC denied the document existed and warned that whoever distributed it would be held to account.
The new list also targets toxic online fandom, and encourages parents to have their kids spend less time online and to follow restrictions on the amount of time spent gaming.
Teen idols have been told to clean up their online acts, and not to think about replacing video with digital avatars.
Vulgarity in all forms will also be bagged up and tossed out. Broadcasters of online infomercials have been told to stop promoting over-consumption. Folks who post short videos have been told to keep it clean.
Website operators have also been instructed to quash pop-ups, make sure their home pages are in good order, and present a positive vibe.
The edict is literally a spring-cleaning exercise. Chinese New Year is next week, and it's followed by a Spring Festival that runs for fifteen days.
The CAC wants China's internet to sparkle with positivity during that period, which happens to overlap with Beijing hosting the Winter Olympic Games.
Why the CAC needs to reiterate for China's netizens the things it considers out of bounds online was not explained, but China has often found it needs to send the same message several times. We've reported at least five times that Beijing has banned cryptocurrencies. ®
What, you mean they already do? Just not "officially"...
Since Jeff and Mark are controlled by Xi.....
Big Tech does the dirty work in the West—their evil has no limits.
What about the Boo-Who girl? Can we keep the Boo-Who girl ?
US media, democrats and intelligence agencies are jealously excited to send a fact-finding mission there to learn how its done.
Videos of Winnie the poo dolls beating each other are definitely verboten.
Dang - if we had to purge fake news from FR there wouldn’t be anything left but the Babylon Bee.
Why? The folks who designed the CCP system reside here.
Pr0n is okay, then?...............
Xi beaming after he views cleaned internet:
“I think I’m going to cry. Everybody , and I mean everybody , loves me. I knew it deep down but now it’s all over the internet.”
This sounds like prostitution and brothels in China - both of which are illegal. However, both are to be found everywhere - hair salon by day, brothel by night, found along main streets and in shopping districts.
