Sina Weibo recently issued a notice to users with more than 1 million followers that it will require "real-name registration at the front desk" before the end of October.

It is reported that current affairs news such as the party, government and military have become the focus of online review.

The Weibo username "Hong Rong" with more than 3.5 million fans posted on Saturday (14th) that before the end of October, the real names of self-media accounts with 1 million fans will be displayed on the front desk; in December, 500,000 self-media accounts will display their real names; Media accounts display their real names at the front desk; 100,000 self-media accounts must display professional information at the front desk after completing real-name authentication in the background.
It is reported that the first areas to be covered include finance, entertainment and society. In response to this, Internet commentator Bi Xin said in an interview with Radio Free Asia on Monday that the fact that social platform V users are required to use real names at the front desk shows that the authorities have launched all-round monitoring of the network: "Real names must be used both front and back, which reminds me of If you report online, basically no one will dare to report. It used to be that most people reported anonymously, but now you are required to report with your real name, so who would dare to report. At present, China's surveillance, including censorship of speech, is all-round and has no blind spots. From communications, the Internet, and even gas stations in some areas, controlled knives are used and purchased, and even kitchen knives are classified as controlled knives.”
Party, government, military and current affairs become the focus of network review
Recently, a big V user received a notice from the "Weibo Service Specialist", "In order to further implement the self-media user management regulations, self-media accounts with more than 1 million fans need to be real-named at the front desk before the end of October, and all platforms on the entire network will implement it uniformly." . Taking Weibo as an example, your real name needs to be publicly displayed on your Weibo profile page. Synchronize and let you know in advance.”
The notice stated that accounts in fields that focus on sharing personal daily life, such as food, beauty and other fields, are not affected by this real-name requirement, but accounts in current affairs, finance, entertainment and other fields must have real-name accounts.
Bi Xin said that the authorities' move was to maintain the stability of the regime: "Those who have an impact on his regime must use real names. Those who have an impact on his economy cannot use real names. Certain personal acts of violence cannot use real names." From the background real-name system proposed in 2011 The front desk volunteered, and now all the front and back offices have real names. Under this situation, telecommunications fraud, online defamation, etc. have not decreased, but have increased. The illegal use of personal information has increased a lot."

When you enter important occasions, you have to see your ID card. , including going to the court. Now Weibo is implementing a real-name system at the front desk, which is nothing more than making personal information more transparent, so as to save them (the government) trouble in their work. When checking you, they also need to check your IP address. Now you can know Zhang San Li Si at a glance, so you don’t have to go to the backend again. investigation."
