Internet censorship in China could be about to get much worse.
The country on Monday passed a new cybersecurity bill that may have severe implications for both Chinese internet users and international tech companies, reports Reuters. These new measures will come into effect June 2017.
On the privacy front, the final draft of the bill stated that “critical information infrastructure operators” — tech companies in and outside China — are required to store their data on users on servers in the country. The publication adds that the draft requires that these companies give “technical support” to security firms and pass national security standards. Additionally, companies that operate within China will be legally bound to enforce censorship, and will be held responsible for content spread through their platforms. For the full article click here
