China Sends a Signal: Civilized Digital Behavior, Please or What? A Bad Social Score, Jail, or Re-Education?
October 29, 2021
I read “China Regulator Says Will Step Up Efforts to Build Civilized Internet.” The write up states:
China will strengthen its efforts to build a “civilized” internet with an eye on reshaping online behavior and use it as a platform to disseminate new party theories and promote socialist values, the country’s cyberspace regulator said.
With closer scrutiny of data and non-Chinese approved companies, China appears to be taking steps to:
- Prevent its technology information from unauthorized hoovering; that is, a different approach from the US and Western Europe
- A “disincentive” for Chinese citizens to wander off the digital reservation and into forbidden lands
- A signal that the CCP wants control.
Will Meta (the new name of the Zuckbook operation) be on the “civilized” list?
Doubtful.
