China is expected to launch a platform Thursday to curb the spread of rumors online, the official Global Times newspaper reported Wednesday. The platform, jointly created by China’s Ministry of Public Security and the popular microblogging website Sina Weibo, will release monthly reports related to the rumors.
With the help of the platform, internet users can send across links or upload screenshots of rumors they see on social media sites like Sina Weibo and other online forums, the paper reported.
