If you read the referenced article in Chinese, you'll see the point of the regulation in China is cracking down illegal activities that often occurs in group chats, e.g. selling illegal stuff, organizing crime. I doubt US would take no actions against these activities.
- rtpg 7y ago>Besides obscene and illegal content, it is not allowed, as this article lists, to post “politically sensitive information”, “spread rumors,” “bring news about Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan that has not been reported by official news channels,” or to publish “military information.” The scope of "illegal activities" is what's at fault here, not the means by which they are enforced. The fact that we can even have this discussion is in itself proof that there's orders of magnitudes of difference in allowed speech.
- echevil 7y agoI didn't see anywhere in the Chinese article that mentioned "politically sensitive information", "bring news about Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan that has not been reported by official news channels", publish “military information.” The sentence "spread rumors" is mentioned in combination with "scamming" and should be focusing on "scamming" part.
- blago 7y agoWe all know what "spread rumors" stands for.
- rtpg 7y agoFrom one of the articles[0](in a bit of a more readable format here[1]): 目前，微信群已经开始立法，规范管理。任何发言都要担负法律责任，尤其是群主，所以请群成员今后发微信一定要注意。 1、政治敏感话题不发 [...] 5、有关港澳台新闻在官方网站未发布前不发 It's there, black and white. I don't get what your bit here is (I find it hard to believe in the value of actually paying people to astroturf HN of all places on CN net policy), but the list is there.
