Irrational online talk bad for all

Irrational and undesirable online fan behavior in China interferes with socio-economic and cultural order, and should be addressed and corrected, a commentary in the Communist Party鈥檚 official People鈥檚 Daily newspaper said yesterday.

It said Chinese regulators had achieved some success in 鈥渞ectifying undesirable fan culture.鈥

They have closed more than 4,000 illegal social media accounts.

And authorities have removed more than 150,000 pieces of what they term negative and harmful information, and closed down groups and topics of discussion.

But the paper said fan groups presented a considerable challenge to governance given 鈥渋ntertwined chains of capital and interests鈥 as well as 鈥渦ndesirable tendencies鈥 including money-worship.

It noted fan groups mostly comprise teenagers in need of positive guidance.
