Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- China's top internet regulator launched a nationwide campaign Tuesday to crack down on malicious marketing in the short video sector, aiming to foster a healthier and more trustworthy online environment.

The three-month initiative targets fabricated content, disinformation, conduct that offends public order and good morals, and policy-violating practices to attract viewers, according to the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission.

Key offenses include staging emotionally manipulative content to exploit public sympathy for financial gain, as well as using deepfakes and altered audio or visuals to fabricate stories, the office said.

The campaign underscores the importance of accountability, requiring short video platforms to curb malicious marketing. Platforms and accounts found in serious violation will face strict penalties.

China is home to a vast short video market. As of June 2024, the number of short video users reached 1.05 billion, accounting for 95.5 percent of the country's total internet population.
