SHANGHAI: China's top cyber authority said on Oct 26 that it would carry out a "rectification" of Chinese mobile Internet browsers to address what it called social concerns over the "chaos" of information being published online.
China has tightened already strict Internet censorship rules in recent years. In the latest crackdown, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) gave browsers two weeks to conduct a self-examination focusing on problems including the spreading of rumours, use of sensationalist headlines and publishing of content that violates the core values of socialism.
