China Intensifies Scrutiny on Big Tech's Algorithm Practices

China's Cyberspace Administration is launching a campaign to curb internet echo chambers and discriminatory pricing algorithms. The initiative aims to prevent tech companies from using recommendation algorithms to create 'information cocoons' and to ensure transparency in content ranking. The directive also targets discriminatory pricing in e-commerce, requiring platforms to avoid pricing based on personal factors and to disclose algorithmic processes. Businesses have until the end of the year to comply, with assessments beginning in January.

"China's Data Security Review Puts Shein's IPO at Risk"

China's Cyberspace Administration is conducting a security review of Shein as the company prepares for its U.S. IPO, focusing on its supply chain presence and data security measures in China. This review highlights Shein's Chinese ties and the increasing scrutiny faced by Chinese companies seeking to go public in the U.S. Shein's proactive approach in seeking China's approval before trading in the U.S. may help prevent a share collapse and boost investor confidence, as the company has moved its headquarters to Singapore and does not sell products in China, potentially alleviating concerns about data security.

"Chinese Deepfake Approvals Sought by Huawei, Alibaba, and More"

Chinese technology companies, including Huawei and Alibaba, have submitted 110 applications to China's cyberspace regulator for approvals related to deepfake technology, which allows for the manipulation of visual and audio data. These applications are in compliance with regulations set out by the Cyberspace Administration of China in December. The approval process is separate from the regulation of generative artificial intelligence products. Five other Chinese tech firms, including Baidu and SenseTime Group, recently launched AI chatbots after receiving government approval. Deepfakes use AI technology to generate realistic visual and audio data that can be easily used for manipulation or misinformation.

China Implements Regulations for Facial Recognition Technology Usage

China's Cyberspace Administration has released draft rules to regulate the use of facial recognition technology in the country. The rules state that facial recognition can only be used for specific purposes with the individual's consent and strict protective measures. Non-biometric identification solutions should be preferred when equally effective. The draft rules also prohibit the installation of image capturing devices in places that may infringe upon others' privacy, such as hotel rooms and public bathrooms. This move is part of China's broader efforts to tighten data regulation and protect user privacy.

China Implements Two-Hour Daily Phone Limit for Children

China's Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has proposed limiting children under the age of 18 to a maximum of two hours of smartphone usage per day and implementing time restrictions on internet access for minors. The CAC's draft guidelines also suggest that providers of smart devices introduce "minor mode" programs to block internet access for users under 18 from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Shares in Chinese tech companies, including Bilibili, Kuaishou, and Tencent Holdings, fell following the announcement. The proposed rules aim to address concerns about myopia and internet addiction among young people, but implementing them may pose challenges for internet companies.
