China’s War on Fake News: One-person Media Under Scrutiny

theguru Views  

The Chinese government has investigated whether one-person media content creators manipulate their content. The goal of the Chinese government is to enhance the credibility of the one-person media environment.

According to industry sources, on the 6th, the Central Internet Safety and Information Committee Office in China began a two-month special maintenance of the one-person media environment, starting on the 23rd of last month.

This crackdown began in February this year after a video by Hong Wang, who claimed to have picked up a Chinese elementary student’s winter vacation homework in Paris, France, was found to be false. The Hangzhou Public Security Bureau confirmed that the video was fabricated and administratively punished Hong Wang and his company by suspending their accounts.

During this period, the Central Internet Safety and Information Committee Office plans to strictly punish one-person media across China for spreading fake news, providing biased information, and producing content that harms public morals. Specifically, they will focus on cracking down on self-made drama videos, unscrupulous speculation about social issues, biased topic selection, creating characters that violate public order and morals, and indiscriminate distribution of provocative news.

Through this special maintenance, the Central Internet Safety and Information Committee Office plans to increase the reliability of information by cracking down on self-made dramas and other content from one-person media.

They also plan to ask platform companies to evaluate one-person media accounts as a critical indicator of traffic distribution and actively support channels that produce high-quality content.
