Every comment on every website in China must now be vetted before it is published

Carefully vetting every single piece of user-generated content (UGC) before it’s allowed to be posted to a website is a daunting task.

But China is clearly up for the challenge.

The country’s so-called Cyberspace Administration has released a new policy that requires all comments on websites to be approved before they’re published.

The new rules were outlined in a document published last week entitled: ‘Provisions on the Administration of Internet Thread Commenting Services’.

It will mean any company or individual that runs a website where people can post comments will need to hire ‘a review and editing team suitable for the scale of services’.

These newly-installed comment moderators will have to vet every single one prior to publication and flag any potentially illegal information to the Administration.

And it goes even further. Any site that does allow readers to post comments must collect their real names and verify their identity before allowing them to submit comments.

The tighter controls seem to have come following online criticism of the Chinese government’s recent mandatory lockdowns as it tried to battle a fresh onslaught of Covid-19.

Internet censorship in China is already widespread and rigorously enforced, which can make it a bit tricky for trvellers who are used to relying on certain sites and apps.

The vast majority of sites that are blocked are western, so Chinese locals are not affected as much by the intense levels of censorship.

Whether you know it or not, there are already AI bots doing this for a lot of websites.

Last year China also started to put limits on the amount of tech that young people can use.

The country’s officials decided that teens would also be limited to three hours’ of online video gaming per week.

The strict new rules were announced by the Xinhua state news agency after parents reported gaming addiction was getting in the way of their children’s studies and health.

Is this a bad thing??

“Democrats are salivating.”

They are, but given that their plans for their ‘Great Reset’ are being upended everywhere, I’m not too worried. Yet.

We have a friendly to states rights SCOTUS. Every state needs to dust off those bills and write new ones as needed to hold the feds in check. If a lawsuit is ready, file it.

Sounds like the left’s plan for this country. I’m sure they are taking notes.

NO.

The Chinese are intelligent enough to read the research, and have done research on the lowering of IQs with screen use and are following the research and tailoring their social engineering to this end. As the rest of the world becomes stupid they will be raising IQs.

And the stupids in other parts of the world will not even be permitted to speak about IQ
