Online broadcast platform shut down
Print Edition
ONE online live broadcasting platform was shut down and 13 others have been warned or suspended in the past two months for failing to register the real names of broadcasters or not adequately monitoring content, Shanghai police said yesterday.
The platforms included those broadcasting gaming and finance-related topics. Police did not name the platform that was shut down.
Meanwhile, about 1,000 broadcasters had their accounts blocked for refusing to identify themselves. A further 1 million people were also blocked for “inappropriate language” and other offenses.
Han Xinyi, an official of the Internet Security Team of Shanghai Public Security Bureau, said most offenses concerned broadcasting “vulgar and lewd content” or having “usernames” that were offensive.
“The rest of the total 37 live broadcasting websites registered in Shanghai have aligned their broadcasting and user policies as required,” Han said. “So far there haven’t been criminal offenses discovered.”
Bilibili.com and panda.tv, two of the largest live broadcasting platforms which have passed the test, said they had complied with the law.
It is estimated that there are more than 300 million users of Internet platforms in China.
