Cao Zenghui: Establish a clearer and more orderly Internet environment

Cao Zenghui Executive Deputy General Manager of Sina Weibo

International online report: After the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Sina Weibo attached great importance to it, immediately organized study, studied the relevant materials of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and combined with the actual situation of Weibo management and development work, began to deploy the next step of implementation.

We believe that the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee governing the country according to law is of landmark significance to promoting the healthy development of the network, the effective operation of the network, the clarity of cyberspace, and the comprehensive promotion of the process of legalization in cyberspace. It can be said very clearly that it has further enhanced our confidence in steady development and pointed out the direction for the development and management of the Sina Weibo community.

Regarding the community management of Weibo, I will mention here that at the beginning of the development of Weibo, we will take the management of good development as the most important work, in May 2012, Sina Weibo innovatively launched the "Weibo Community Convention", including false information, illegal and bad information, netizen disputes and other types of illegal content for definition and public handling, the current cumulative handling of user reports 26 million times, user reports will be responded to within 24 hours. In December 2013, Weibo credit points were launched to establish user credit records to improve the reward mechanism for law-abiding creditworthiness and the punishment mechanism for illegal and untrustworthy conduct.

In community management, we also encounter many challenges. The management rules of the website itself are often limited by their own professionalism, as well as the neutrality and fairness of the processing, and will also bring netizens to question the management methods and so on. We believe that with the improvement and enrichment of the Internet-related legal system, it can fundamentally regulate the speaking behavior of netizens on the Internet, and the difficulty and cost of the management of the website itself will continue to decrease, and the awareness of netizens to abide by the law will be continuously cultivated and strengthened.

In the next step, we will continue to pioneer and innovate, take the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session as the direction, take the relevant Internet laws and regulations system as the benchmark, combine our own management rules, maintain the order of the Weibo community, strive to assume corporate social responsibility, run the network according to law, and work with everyone to jointly promote the process of the rule of law in cyberspace and establish a clearer and more orderly Internet environment.
