BEIJING, June 21 (Xinhua) — China’s Internet Administration (CAC) on Friday released a draft of measures to identify online information that may affect the physical and mental health of minors.

According to the document, which is open to public comment, such information includes content that could provoke or encourage minors to “imitate unsafe behavior, commit acts that violate public ethics, develop extreme emotions or form harmful habits.”

In particular, this may apply to content containing sexual innuendos or flirting that easily evokes sexual associations, content related to online insults, content inciting discrimination against certain groups or regions, and more than 30 other types of information listed in the draft.

The draft also states that providers of online products and services should not place potentially harmful content in prominent places that could attract the user’s attention, such as on the home page, in pop-up windows and in lists of trending search queries. -0-
