Details: The Cyberspace Administration of China has set up a special email address, suanfa@12377.cn, to handle reports related to typical issues concerning online platform algorithms. The Governance of Typical Issues of Online Platform Algorithms policy looks to establish mechanisms to prevent the creation of “information cocoons” and strictly prohibits the push of highly homogenized content that induces user addiction. Platforms need to disclose the principles behind their algorithms to enhance transparency, the notice said. Based on the notice, platforms are prohibited to use user characteristics such as age, occupation, and spending level to implement differentiated pricing for the same product. However, precise targeting of users, “information cocoons,” content manipulation, and price gouging potentially harm the interests of users, the authorities have said.
