"Concocting rumours is itself a social malady, and the spread of rumours across the internet presents a massive social threat," Xinhua said.
China has a vast and complex censorship system, but microblogs have played an increasing role in spreading news, developing public debate and uncovering scandals.
"The rapid advance of this flood [of internet users] has also brought 'mud and sand' - the spread of rumours - and to nurture a healthy internet, we must thoroughly eradicate the soil in which rumours grow,"
Thank you.
Brilliant website that one. Was quite amused about the fact you can enter capitalism.org in China. I would've thought they banned that one. : )
