Internet users in China will soon be held liable for liking posts deemed illegal or harmful, sparking fears that the world's second largest economy plans to control social media like never before.

Internet users in China will soon be held liable for liking posts deemed illegal or harmful, sparking fears that the world’s second largest economy plans to control social media like never before. China’s internet watchdog is stepping up its regulation of cyberspace as authorities intensify their crackdown on online dissent amid growing public anger against the country’s stringent Covid restrictions. The new rules come into force from Dec.

“The authorities are very concerned with the spreading protest activities, and an important means of control is to stop the communications of the potential protesters including reports of protest activities and appeals of joining them,” said Joseph Cheng, a retired professor of political science at the City University of Hong Kong.

Sounds really familiar …

Kind of like the Left here in the USA?

This is a surprise ? The u.s democrats are going to try the same thing

👏

Most be sticky to try to thread this needle slimeballs. You are currently whining about someone owning a single social media app that you don't like. Unfettered speech is a 'threat to democracy', right boys?

But elonmusk is the bad man, right…

HarmlessYardDog Offenders will get a permanent record of 'non-crime hate incident' and a visit to their house from the weakest beta in the police force for intimidation and shaming purposes? -The UK has been a great inspiration, says a spokesman from the CCP. (This tweet is Disinformation)

Sounds familiar no 😉 Like looking into a mirror isn’t it CNN 🤣

That means that it will come to every so-called democratic country... in order to protect democracy.

China and Chinese are just good as usual,save your energy by stopping dreaming any chaos accurs in this beautiful country.

He is out of control😡

CNN Fake news There are related rumors, but no official information is released at present!

how is this any different from your recent Twitter post about the dangers of free speech on well Twitter? Zero awareness

Almost like liking Trump here. Lol. Coming soon to the USA

They must have learnt that from you

This is what Dems and corporate media want for America. You CNN are part of that cabal. Wake up people.

West already doing it for years you hypocrits.

With mega corporations bowing to China no wonder they couldn't care less about human rights.

You know that Apple removed some stuff from the Chinese ios making it harder to share recorded video.. Sucks.

Insane but it's not like the liberal gang in the USA would have it any different if they had a option.

I dreamt where billions of people revolted, killed all their leaders from top to bottom.

this is as close as you can get to being thought police.

Exactly what Democrats and the Biden regime are doing in USA

Kind of like left-wing America!

Any American who complains about living in America has no clue how good you got it and how horrible many other countries are. You would come running back to USA so fast.

胡址。

When you said world largest economy you meant to say Canada

All Trump’s fault

Bet this is giving Trudeau a woodie. Now he will do the same in Canadastan

Great, now slo joe will want that here.

TO ALL OF THE SUPPRESSED PEOPLE IN CHINA , IRAN , RUSSIA, N. KOREA VENEZUELA & OTHERS , REMEMBER THEIR ARE MORE OF YOU THEN THE SUPPRESSORS AND YOU HAVE THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE. WE AMERICANS WERE AT ONE TIME SUPPRESSED UNTIL THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, YOU NEED YOURS TO BE FREE.

China needs some one like Elon musk.

SIN! SIN!! SIN!!! SAME-SEX UNION: THE ROOT OF ALL EVILS IN THE WORLD TODAY; THE ROOT OF GLOBAL WARMING!!! ~ CLIMATE CHANGE!!!

So you guys must be really jealous that they can get away with it but you can't anymore

Just the way CNN wants America to be.

Disgusting.

How is this different from democrats wanting to censor free speech on Twitter

This is what America wants now...sad day

Sounds like the Biden administration outline for the Twitter crack down the White House plans on

It’s like a liberal dream.

Doesn’t matter. Nothing on social media is the truth, anyway.

Sounds like the Democrats

They should try to read the rooms and figure out ways to compromise and work at fixing the root of their citizens' concerns and grievances instead. They are still mad at COVID-19 restrictions and stopping them from liking posts won't change that.

Yeah with the help of Apple and Tim Cook, they can silence everyone

Tell me how this is different than our social media controls over the last 2 years.

And fucking American Tim Cook is helping them! Hearing that Biden immediately asked Cook to meet him at the WH.

So kinda like the US where gosh forbid you like a tweet from the right and deemed a Nazi fascist?

Then we will just have to unlike China.

If it was up to Dems they would here in USA - they almost got by with it - till Musk bought Twitter and exposed what’s been going on

coming to a country near you.....

elonmusk

That is why China isn't a desirable place to live. They think their system will get the ahead of the west, but eventually, China will fall apart by it's own policies. Structure, is all China has right now, being able to place puzzle pieces where you want without complaint.

Much like Jack Dorsy's twitter regime used to control things .... Also how the Democrat Regime Freak Show likes to control the narrative

Coming soon to a western country near you…

Desire for freedom cannot be removed from the people who truly desire to be free.

Stop buying apple products. As they actively helped the chinese government hurt citizens

China will soon be like North Korea.

F China no idea why we still do business with them, oh I forget Joey and Hunter received millions from them

Hits close to home if you ask me

Apple is right on the forefront of this censorship. go Apple Oh, awaiting your 'Firey but peaceful' segment

Coming to America soon under continued democratic leadership

Controlling social media was just what you did in the West by silencing dissenting voices and banning them from the forums. hypocrites!

2 MUCH XPLOITATION IN SCHOOLS AS U CALL THIS FREE EDUCATION. PRIMARY CHILDREN ARE BEEN FORCED 2 PAY SCHOOL CHARGES OR STAY AT HOME, THEN U CALL THIS QUALITY EDUCATION. STOP LYING 2 D PEOPLE. STREET CHILDREN ARE ON D INCREASE, WHO'S 2 B BLAMED

Why do you care? You've been carrying water for China for 30 years. Communist scum are all alike.

is this the democrat plan as well?

how ironic that CNN would post this story.

BBC世界的搅屎棍,带有色眼镜的报导,不真实,没有公信力!

Trudeau would be so proud

If we do democracy loving why do we get all our shit from them…

The democrats are probably already trying to figure a way to do this in the US. Only against conservatives.

Oh by gosh, by golly...It time for missile posing follies..., along with Russia; China, n North Korea watching The Ukraine go..., why, it's Christmas..., Merry Christmas... You Know? 😰

American isn't far behind.

Now apply this same journalistic approach to the Biden Administration’s attempt to influence facebook Twitter & mainstream media especially Is the US Govt’s overreach not alarming? If you fail to be journalists & instead choose to be propagandists then this will the US.

This is what leftists in the west want.

Internet users in the US are held liable for liking posts deemed harmful, sparking fears that the world's first largest economy plans to control social media like never before.

Democrats support this 100%

The DNC is jealous of the CCP’s tyrannical methods.

I’m sure the Biden administration will be watching closely for pointers.

The US isn't far behind

CNN China News Network has spoken!

They should just put elon in charge of it and tell him everyone in China is sleeping with grimes.

What qualification does a loser have to blame a victorious nation?! Should the United States solve its own domestic economic problems, shooting incidents and drug problems before blaming other countries?

During the Korean War, China was the only country that defeated the United States in modern history!

Sounds somewhat familiar.

Sounds like the democrat party!

Exactly what liberal companies like yours want to do in America to the other 50% of America

If the people in China do not like their government overthrow it

Except what is posted is not true, the Chinese government should not term a truthful post illegal or harmful because that will be an infringement on people's right to freedom of speech.

Good

Social media is simply intimate surveillance 🫶🏾😴

Cnn would like to make usa like china

Sounds like leftist liberals here in the US demanding they be able to control Twitter and hunt down conservatives on social media platforms as commanded by der Fuhrer Biden.

Sound familiar?

Kinda like getting accounts suspended for speaking against lock down mandates..objection to vax.

Thanks for posting something valuable finally.

This has been going on since 2017 - where have you been CNN?

This is how the Democrats want it here in the US. Thankfully elonmusk stepped in.

Imagine being on here making a joke about it, when it’s indeed happening around the world.

don't lie...your network and the kool aid drinkers that follow your channel would love for this to happen here in america.

You mean like you and the rest of the leftist radicals want to do here?

Democrats and Biden enabled and empowered this

How soon before that is implemented here in America “Land of the Free”

So censoring Twitter is wrong?

You’re literally sounding the alarm over china yet this is what US government is beginning to do colluding with big tech yet but it’s not a problem here and only conspiracies…CNN is garbage!

Americans who oppose free speech pay attention. When the government begins picking & choosing who can have free speech, we become just like the Communists.

Bill C-11 in Canada 🇨🇦 thanks to JustinTrudeau and the liberal_party CBCNews CTVNationalNews ctvottawa globeandmail globalnewsto SenatorHousakos SenatorWallin SenateCA

This is what the Authoritarian Democrats and legacy propaganda media want for America. This is why POTUS established the “Disinformation Board” and appointed a foreign agent to run it.

seems like you guys want the same thing in our country! I hope you kids are paying attention! This will NOT end well.

Sound familiar Clown News Network?

US government thinking

When we are serious about the atrocities, nothing will change

Apple will help them out

They are behind the times... we been doing that sh*t over here in the states! CNN a big part of that movement

Democrats are salivating watching their idol, China, do what they dream of doing.

America came dangerously close to this over the past two years by banning “misinformation” which was both political & many times factually. Even now members of congress & political party loyalists are advocating for censorship. Maybe they are traitors to China? Freedomofspeech

Multipolar world in shambles

I love the cesspool of ignorant republicans on here lol. The comments, ha ha. Im loving it.

Where have i heard this before...mmm 🤔

The western leaders are envious of this sort of control

The govt simply labels any opinions they don't like as 'harmful' or 'illegal',then clamps down!More like how some in the US label people with opinions different from theirs as 'fascists' and their opinions as 'harmful' or as 'inciting violence' then push for them to be suspended.

Coming to a city near you

That's the DemoKKKrats dream

Thank God Elon bought twitter

Coming to a neighborhood near you if we don’t fight against China supremacy. They allowed people to burn to death in a building fire because of their quarantine rules. The world needs to embargo China and fast

Biden and Trudeau are loving this.

就问谁还敢说共产党的坏话了

Oh stop it. They created tik tok. That means they gave the world an app to schytt on everyone, let alone themselves, if the tik tok'r so chooses.

Democrats are taking notes!

Every democrats ‘ dream

But you think it's good enough for your political opponents?! Duplicitous fools

Biden looking at this like...

Isn’t this also true in US? Won’t u be held accountable if u like posts related to pedophilia, Child abuse/porn...

so just like pre-Musk Twitter

对违法言论的帖子点赞,视为吃同样观点,这没有问题,但不代表就要受到处罚。不要混淆!

Yeah, that sounds about par for the course.

I like it,I hope what you said is true。

This is the problem with the hateful/harmful speech narrative. Hateful/harmful according to whom?

Facebook should be transparent, too. They blocked or suppressed: ➡️ Anti-lockdown protests ➡️ Hunter Biden's laptop ➡️ Discussion of lab leak hypothesis ➡️ Support for Kyle Rittenhouse

Sounds exactly like America under fascist liberal rule.

This is what Biden wants for America.

你们懂个屁啊!!!这些法律是为了防止像你们这些人别有用心的人来扰乱我们国家的公序良俗而制定的!!!CNN,我劝你好自为之,不要在这里狗叫!!!

So what's next? Watching is illegal? gluing people' eyes?

They're years behind social media in the West then. When do they begin canceling people for having a divergent opinion? Maybe CNN can help them.

this is exactly what the American political left want for this country. CNN wants it too .

CNN, don't pretend like you don't advocate for the same here on Twitter. Hypocrites.

Isn’t this what Joe Biden is trying to do ?

poke Thinker_View contrôle des medias digital ID

This is unbelievable and alarming. Chinese people have the right to oppose bad behaviour from government..!!

Chinese censors keyword topics, and then America censors keyword topics China suspends accounts, and then America suspends accounts China penalizing users for liking posts, and then...

Republicans would love to control all social media in the UnitedStates. They’re actively working to make this the norm in the United States.

Cut off water and electricity to Russian embassies

Dictatorship is a nuisance in this present dispensation....shame on the dictator
