“#China launches crackdown on mobile web browsers, decries ‘chaos’ of information<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n SHANGHAI \u2013 China\u2019s top cyber authority said on Monday it would carry out a \u201crectification\u201d of Chinese mobile internet browsers to address what it called social<\/a> concerns over the \u201cchaos\u201d of information being published online.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s strict internet censorship rules have been tightened numerous times in recent years and in the latest crackdown, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has told firms operating mobile browsers that they have until Nov. 9 to conduct a \u201cself-examination\u201d and rectify problems.<\/p>\n

The problems include the spreading of rumors, the use of sensationalist headlines and the publishing of content that violates the core values of socialism, it said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor some time, mobile browsers have grown in an uncivilized way \u2026 and have become a gathering place and amplifier for dissemination of chaos by \u2018self-media\u2019,\u201d the CAC said, referring to independently operated social media accounts, many of which publish news<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the rectification, mobile browsers that still have outstanding problems will be dealt with strictly according to laws and regulations until related businesses are banned.\u201d<\/p>\n

The campaign will initially focus on eight of the most influential mobile browsers in China, including those operated by Huawei Technologies, Alibaba Group Holding\u2019s UCWeb and Xiaomi Corp, it said.<\/p>\n

Others include the QQ platform owned by Tencent, Qihoo-owned 360, Oppo and Sogou.<\/p>\n

Huawei\u2019s browser unit said in a statement on Tuesday it would conduct a comprehensive self-examination and clean-up in line with the regulator\u2019s requests and would also place strict controls over \u201cself media\u201d accounts.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi and UCWeb declined to comment, while Tencent, Oppo, Sogou and 360 did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Legislation introduced in recent years by China include measures to restrict media outlets, surveillance measures for media sites and rolling campaigns to remove content deemed unacceptable.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
