According to the report of Yassad News, quoted by Reuters, this is while the country’s government is trying to improve its business environment.
China’s Cyber Security Administration (CAC) said online platforms should focus on countering false and misleading information about businesses online. Insulting comments targeting entrepreneurs and people’s private information on the Internet should also be dealt with.
In recent years, China has tried to increase its control over the cyber space and social networks and deal with fake news. In this regard, it has established new laws and guidelines in various fields.
Before the issuance of this order and during the past few days, the Minister of Industry and Information of China announced that all mobile application providers of this country will be required to provide the details of their business to the government. Applications without sufficient details will be penalized after a certain deadline that ends in March next year. Earlier, China’s cyberspace regulator had prepared a draft guideline to tighten restrictions on the use of apps, smart terminals and app stores for underage users. According to the regulator, the public has until September 2, 2023 to register their feedback on the said directive. This is despite the fact that earlier in 1400 AD, the Cyberspace Administration of China summoned the representatives of 4 technology companies and ordered them to remove obscene content related to children. He also announced that these companies will be fined for spreading such content.
