‘China may soon review every single comment before it goes out on social media, sparking fears of further censorship in a country that already has one of the world’s most restrictive media environments.
On Friday, China’s internet watchdog published a new set of draft rules on its website, instructing content platforms to review all online comments before they are published and to report any “illegal and bad information” found to the authorities.
The new rules are designed to “safeguard national security and public interests, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens,” the notice read, adding that the public can provide feedback on the regulations by July 1.’
