On June 5, the WeChat Coral Security WeChat official account issued the "Announcement on the Governance of "Self-Media" Violations (Phase IV)", the full text of which is as follows:
Announcement on the governance of "self-media" violations
(Phase 4)
In order to rectify the problem of "self-media" without a bottom line and maintain a good order in the dissemination of online information content, the platform has further strengthened the governance of "self-media" violations, and carried out a special project of "clear and clear" self-media "no bottom line blog traffic", focusing on cracking down on five types of illegal content and behaviors, such as self-directed and self-staged fraud, unscrupulous means to stir up social hot spots, setting up topics with partial generalizations, creating personas in violation of public order and good customs, and indiscriminately distributing "new yellow news". Since the launch of the special project, a total of 31,945 pieces of illegal content have been disposed of, and 947 accounts have been disposed of.
At the same time, the platform will further standardize the "information source labeling" of self-media messages. When self-media publishes relevant information such as current affairs, public policies, and social events at home and abroad, it must indicate that the information comes from authoritative media or professional popular science; When publishing information generated using AI and other technologies, the content must be marked as AI-generated. When publishing content that contains fiction or derivative content, the content must be marked as fictional. For the information that has been labeled, relevant prompts will be displayed at the bottom of the information to better help users accurately understand the information.
Standardize the marking case
For content that does not standardize the labeling of information sources, the platform will remind and restrict its dissemination. "Self-media" accounts that have not been marked in a standardized manner for many times will be disposed of in accordance with the rules of the platform.
WeChat will continue to implement the requirements of the "Clear and Rectification" self-media "No Bottom Line Blog Traffic" special action, further improve governance capabilities, strictly deal with illegal content and accounts, and also call on "self-media" creators to strengthen self-discipline and jointly protect the clean online ecology.
