Coming soon to a country near you.

From WION (India), June 23:

According to reports, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) in a new draft has asked internet platforms to hire content moderators to review all user comments and filter out harmful content before online publication.

The proposed guidelines reportedly include all types of comments including those that appear in videos. The controversial move which is being seen as a move to curb free speech is open for feedback until July 1.

The restrictions also include real-time comments and replies made by users on the net. The CAC has demanded content moderation teams to be appointed by internet platforms which "matches the scale of their service" as China continues to clamp down on the internet inside the "Great Firewall".....

The Chinese Communist Party/Government is just so fashion forward in this stuff.

More on that tomorrow.
