☆ China removes anonymity of bloggers' accounts with more than 500,000 followers

Doxxing is the public release of sensitive information identifying an individual or organisation, like a home address or phone number. Some, like former state media editor Hu Xijin, have defended the measure as necessary in order to force influential accounts to use more responsible speech. Others, however, have expressed concerns that the measure would make doxxing easier and platforms would further remove online users' anonymity in the future. Weibo CEO Wang Gaofei said two weeks ago that the policy would not be expanded to include accounts with follower counts below 500,000. The new measures will remove the anonymity of thousands of influencers on social media platforms that are used daily by hundreds of millions of Chinese.

☆ CEO of China's Weibo tests new real-name policy on his own account

File photo: The logo of Chinese social media app Weibo is seen on a mobile phone in this illustration picture taken December 7, 2021. The comments by Wang Gaofei, whose microblogging platform is China's equivalent of X, caught the attention of local media and several Weibo users, amid concerns over growing censorship and government scrutiny over the country's internet. In Wang's case, the display of his name on his account was first pointed out by a user, leading him to respond that he was testing out this policy on his own account first. "Long-time followers (of my account) all know that (I) try to first use (new) functions myself," he wrote. He also suggested users could delete followers to avoid being subjected to the policy.
