Social Media News Regulations

The CAC Launches a Campaign to Manage Media Efficiently

— January 7, 2021 — Lifestyle
The CAC, Cyberspace Administration of China launches a new campaign that breaks down social media accounts of independent news providers. This focuses on commercial websites and accounts that illegally write and edit news, reposting articles from non-compliant sources. This will decrease any misinformation, click bait stories, and sensationalized content that exists online.

There are also plans to better regulate online forums and livestream lectures, encouraging media sites to exude more positivity. This regulation of media follows the country's continuation of tightening the rules within the recent years. As the digital space continues to grow, it restricts certain media outlets and puts surveillance measures out. The campaigns roll out to actively remove any content that the CAC may deem as unacceptable.
