China internet watchdog to clean up websites targeting under 18s
- Tuesday | 14th July, 2020
SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China’s internet watchdog said it was kicking off a two-month campaign to clean up websites aimed at users under the age of 18, saying it wanted to promote a healthy online environment. The Cyberspace Administration of China said on its website on Tuesday that under the campaign it will look at content on online learning websites as well as ones that have livestreaming or instant messaging tools aimed at minors. China has stringent rules on content ranging from video games to movies to music, and censors anything it believes violates core socialist values. In the past, it has imposed limits on online playtime for young users amid reports of rising gaming addiction among children.
