Many young people's perception of reality is distorted in a significant way by the content posted by influencers on social networks. Fortunately, there is a solution.
While many young people become depressed or neglect their education because money is made differently on the Internet, especially for women, the authorities in China are tired of waiting for a solution from Mark Zuckerberg. Of course, the world's largest social networks are not very effective in protecting the mental health of their users.
Display of wealth and unethical content banned on social networks
The authorities in Beijing have decided to ban "unethical content" posted on social networks in China. By definition, that content includes the display of wealth and "extravagant pleasures." If these formulations seem incredibly abstract to you, leaving room for interpretation, you are absolutely and completely right. Beyond that, the announcement came from the China Internet Regulatory Agency and has the status of law.
Both celebrities and their fans "must respect public order and rules of conduct, adhere to the correct orientation of public opinion and values, promote fundamental socialist values and maintain a healthy and tasteful lifestyle" , the Cyberspace Administration of China sent in a statement, according to Business Insider, via Adevărul.
A little more painful than Instagram riches, in terms of punishment, are spreading rumors, publishing false or private information, and provoking fans to verbally attack each other. Encouraging fans to participate in "illegal fundraising or make irrational investments" is also on the list.
Social networks in China are required to monitor and report "suspected illegal acts and criminal acts of exposed stars, as well as group conflicts involving fans" to authorities, moderating content that may reflect so-called social disorder.
