On July 29, China's Cyberspace Administration issued a draft regulation on cyberbullying governance for public comment.

Notably, the draft explicitly brings AI-generated deepfake images and synthetic harassment texts under regulatory oversight. The Q&A platform Zhihu has already responded by restricting the use of anonymous accounts.
