CRACKDOWN ON INTERNET FREEDOM CONTINUES.

China has not only passed legislatio­n that bans the use of virtual private network (VPN) services, the Communist regime is now cracking down on anonymous online posts on any digital platform, effective 1st October 2017. Service providers will be required to verify true identities of users during registrati­on and will have to report any illegal content — a list broad enough to cover any topic — being posted online.
