China's cyberspace regulator on Wednesday published revised rules to regulate online comments, which will be effective from Dec. 15, reported Reuters.
The new rules will require account operators to strengthen the review and management of comments, according to a statement released by the Cyberspace Administration of China.
In an earlier draft of the rules released in August, CAC asked Internet platforms to hire content moderators to review all user comments and filter out harmful content before online publication. The proposed guidelines reportedly included all types of comments, including those that appear in videos.
