China's best-known
microblogging site has imposed
new restrictions which punish
those who post comments deemed
offensive. Sina Weibo's rules.
which came into effect this
week, will sanction its 300
million users for spreading
false news, divulging private
information or launching
public attacks.
Users will be
allocated 80 points and will
have points deducted for every
infringement. If they fall to
zero, their accounts will be
closed. The move comes amid
government nervousness over
the growing influence of
weibos - microblogs similar to
Twitter - which have taken the
country by storm in recent
years.
