Summer vacation just got safer for young netizens in China! The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has launched a two-month nationwide campaign to clean up harmful online content targeting minors. Think of it as a digital ‘spring cleaning’ 🧹 – but with stricter rules for platforms like TikTok-style apps, livestreams, and social media.
The crackdown focuses on violent, bullying, or explicit material that could harm underage users. Platforms like e-commerce sites and app stores will also face scrutiny to block illegal websites and vulgar language. Even smart devices designed for kids are under the microscope! 🔍
A CAC official emphasized that local authorities will monitor trends like AI-generated deepfakes or new app features to ensure compliance. Violators? They’ll face consequences faster than a buffering livestream. ⚡
This move aligns with global efforts to create safer digital spaces for Gen Z – because even the internet needs a PG mode sometimes. 🎮📱
