China Regulates Public
Account Instant Messaging Services
In a world that runs on internet, security of information and
identity is very important. China, the world’s most popular country, takes an
intelligent step by imposing rules on the instant message services. The State
Internet Information Office announces its 10-article interim provisions on Instant
Messaging Tool Services. These rules guide and manage the public information
services using instant messaging tools. The instant message service providers
are expected to take responsibility for the security of user’s identity and
manage their operations. They will strictly follow rules and enact upon
violations.
Each user of the instant message service should register for
the service by giving their real name and accept to follow the laws and
regulations, socialist system, national interests, the legitimate rights and
interests of citizens, public order and social morality, and ensuring the
authenticity of information. All public information accounts can post or
re-post any news after the consignment of the instant message services. The State
Internet Information Office will be responsible for the region under them.
This article tells us the importance of internet security, as
internet is the fastest way of communication and should not be used to spread
news that is not legitimate. I feel every country should implement this system
in order to keep cybercrime in check.
