BEIJING, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- China's internet watchdog has launched a special campaign to address improper online behaviors and harmful information concerning veterans, following reports of online accounts misusing identities of former service members for profit.
The campaign will run through the end of September, according to the Cyberspace Administration of China. It aims to urge online platforms to fulfill their primary responsibilities, remove content that damages the image of veterans, and foster a sound online environment to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
The campaign has a range of targets, including social media accounts posing as veterans to sell counterfeit goods, livestreamers wearing military uniforms for vulgar performances, and the use of veterans' identities to spread rumors, conduct scams or promote misleading content.
It will also crack down on the misuse of artificial intelligence to generate fake images or videos of people in military uniform, as well as activities that distort veteran welfare policies for commercial gain. ■
