On June 14, 2024, China announced new measures to be implemented starting August, called the 'Internet Violence Information Governance Regulations.' The regulations state that service providers should establish a 'sound user account credit management system,' where accounts involved in cyberbullying will have their credit levels reduced or be blacklisted. Providers are also required to alert high-risk targets of cyberbullying and inform them of preventive measures. The regulations define 'Internet violence information' and outline actions to be taken by service providers, including verifying account identities, providing warning notifications, reporting to relevant authorities, and offering options to prevent receiving harmful content. It also emphasizes managing online forums, communities, and public accounts to ensure the dissemination of safe and accurate information, with penalties for violators. The regulations also extend to online news providers, mandating responsible reporting practices and immediate corrections of misleading content related to cyberbullying.
