China Tightens Rules for Internet Users
China enacted new rules on Friday that beef up disclosure requirements for Internet users, in Beijing’s latest move to get a tighter grip on its voluble and increasingly restive online community.
Senior members of the National People’s Congress, China’s rubber-stamp parliament, approved the rules Friday as part of an effort to strengthen personal privacy laws, the state-run Xinhua news agency said. The rules, unveiled Monday, received a slew of positive coverage in state-run media and were widely expected to be enacted.
