China's top legislature to vote on draft decision on online info protection
The top legislature will vote on a draft decision on strengthening the protection of online information protection at the end of its bimonthly session on Friday (December 28, 2012).
The draft decision, which aims to enhance the protection of personal information online, proposes the adoption of an identity management policy requiring Internet users to identify themselves to service providers, while allowing them to use other names when posting material publicly.
The draft decision says authorities will protect digital information that could be used to determine the identity of a user or that concerns a user's privacy.
