China tight rools on the Internet use
China has tightened its rules on the use of the Internet in a previous requirement to force users to identify themselves fully to the service providers. The move is part of a package of measures, state-run news agency Xinhua said it would to protect personal information.
But critics say the government is trying to restrict free speech.
The message will be seen as a new pipeline proof China sees the Internet as a threat. The Chinese authorities closely monitor Internet content that exceeds the limits and often gripping stories block with what is known as the Great Firewall of China.
It has not stopped hundreds of millions of Chinese Internet use, and many of them using micro-blogging sites to reveal, debate and campaign on issues of national importance.
In recent months, the Internet and social media is used to stage mass protests and some corrupt Communist Party of exposed individuals posting criticism on the Internet. Under the new rules, including network providers must "immediately stop the transmission of illegal information when it is tainted" by removing the piles and storage of data "for reporting to regulators."
The measures are intended to "provide Internet information, the legitimate rights and interests of citizens ... to protect national security and public interests and social rights", and was approved by the supreme legislature of China in the final session of a five-day meeting on Friday, Xinhua reported.
They call for stricter controls on the Internet run by the state media as saying that rumors on the Internet to the public and sow chaos and confusion damage.
The government has officially said that the exposure of official abuses welcome, but a new generation of increasingly brazen bloggers and commentators a threat that management seems determined to counteract the BBC Charles Scanlon reports.
