- China has launched Internet cleanup campaign.
- The campaign will punish and expose websites for “illegal and criminal actions”. It will also punish them for failing to “fulfil their obligation” to take safety measures or the theft of personal information.
- Recently, Internet censorship researchers had found that China has blocked Wikipedia. China had previously banned the Chinese language version of the site as well as the pages for sensitive search terms such as Dalai Lama and the Tiananmen massacre.
- China has long been enforcing mechanisms to deter criticism and spread of propaganda against the government. Reporters without Border’s 2019 World Press Freedom index ranks China at 177 on a list of 180 countries analysed.
