Shutdown threat to Sina鈥檚 news services
Print Edition
CHINESE web giant Sina will have its Internet news services suspended if it fails to improve censorship of illegal content, authorities have warned.
The Cyberspace Administration of China summoned Sina officials to a meeting on Friday over what it said were “massive numbers of public complaints about its law violations.”
Since the beginning of the year, the administration has received 6,038 complaints about Sina, more than any other web portal. It said the reports indicated that “Sina has spread illegal information related to rumors, violence and terrorism, pornography, swindling, advocation of heresies and has distorted news facts, violated morality and engaged in media hype.”
Sina has also published some false reports and its censorship of user accounts has been poor, undermining online order and damaging public interests, according to the administration. It told Sina to correct the oversights and strengthen its internal management.
If Sina fails to meet these requirements, it will be “seriously” punished, with measures including a complete shutdown of its online news services.
Sina officials said they will tighten censorship and publish more information with “positive energy.”
