Local wireless network operators need to abide by « correct » political direction
China’s internet regulators have announced a raft of proposed regulations for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi that will see operators of networks that employ the wireless techs required to abide by « correct » political standards.
The Cyberspace Administration (CAC) floated the guidelines on Tuesday, framing them as applicable to operators of « short-distance ad hoc networks » – providers of technologies that might enable local networks to promote non-socialist values or not abide by existing laws.
Operators of such networks are expected to « prevent and resist » the use of their equipment to spread what Beijing deems fake news, and to report such activities to authorities.
