BEIJING - The Cyberspace Administration of China has launched a campaign to combat online activities that lure young people to spend large amounts of money on entertainment stars, irrationally follow their idols and become involved in mudslinging with fans of rival popular performers.
A survey cited by Legal Daily last month showed that about 27 per cent of people born between 1990 and 2000 idolised stars, but the figure hit 70 per cent for those born after 2000. More than half of the idols' followers are students with no income, the survey said."But using business operations to lure young people without earnings to support their idols by paying a lot for celebrity-endorsed products or attending promotional events is undesirable," Prof Wang said.
A total of 1,028 online topics sparking arguments were eliminated from July 24 to July 31, with 1,086 problematic accounts and 3,524 comments involving quarrelling supporters also deleted. Some online platforms could implement technical measures to impose restrictions on minors' use of their services, he suggested.
"They use ugly words, fake claims or uncouth language to attack people in cyberspace, while some were also discovered spending lots of valuable study time and money supporting their idols, infringing on the stars' privacy or even disturbing public order," said Ms Jiang Ying, deputy president of the court.
