BEIJING (Bloomberg): Chinese regulators are seeking to implement far-reaching rules about the algorithms technology companies use to recommend videos and other content, claiming authority over internet services that governments like the US have struggled to regulate.

The Cyberspace Administration of China unveiled a 30-point draft proposal for "algorithm recommendation management regulations” that would directly affect companies including ByteDance Ltd., Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Kuaishou Technology. The rules would forbid practices that "encourage addiction or high consumption” as well as any activities that endanger national security or disrupt social and economic order.
