According to Cyberspace China, Chinese cyberspace authorities recently addressed issues with Weibo platform's failure to fulfill its primary responsibility for information content management. The platform had been prominently displaying large amounts of celebrity gossip and trivial content on its trending lists, which constituted harmful information that disrupted the online ecosystem.
The National Cyberspace Administration guided the Beijing Cyberspace Office to take enforcement measures against Weibo platform in accordance with the "Regulations on the Governance of Network Information Content Ecosystem" and other relevant regulations. The measures included conducting interviews, ordering corrections within a specified timeframe, issuing warnings, and strictly handling responsible personnel.
A clear and healthy cyberspace environment serves the people's interests. Cyberspace authorities will continue to focus on prominent illegal and irregular activities that damage the online ecosystem, leveraging the "sharp sword" role of internet law enforcement to督促 website platforms fulfill their primary responsibilities and social obligations, effectively maintaining a clean cyberspace.
