                                         China Demands Stricter Rules for Live Streaming
    As well as asking sites to step up control of live broadcasts, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) wants the content monitored full-time.
It is the latest move by authorities to clamp down on what it sees as "inappropriate" content online. Live streaming is particularly popular among Chinese youth. There are an estimated 80 platforms in use around the country, with some gaining notoriety for hosting live broadcasts of stunts that have gone viral.
    The People’s Daily reported that the CAC statement asked sites to " strengthen security evaluation of new products like live broadcasts". It is just one of a range of new requirements placed on websites to better regulate themselves, including putting the onus on them to set up 24-hour monitoring of their online content.
    In April, the Ministry of Culture announced it was investigating a number of popular live-streaming platforms for allegedly hosting pornographic or violent content that "harms social morality".
    Live streaming platforms like Bilibili, YY, Inke or Douyu are attracting millions of viewers. The content is monetized by allowing viewers to purchase virtual gifts for real money and send them to the host of any stream they particularly like. The revenue coming in from those gifts is then shared between the host and the streaming site. China’s tech giants including messaging and gaming company Tencent, mobile company Xiaomi and micro-blogging giant Sina, among others, all have video streaming sites.
    According to a guideline issued by China’s Ministry of Culture, "violent and pornographic performances will be automatically flagged and their providers blacklisted, as well as those featuring deformed bodies or torture of humans or animals and those on the blacklist will not only be banned from online performance, but also from other for-profit activities".

答案                                                   The Censorship on Live Streaming
    The latest move by authorities to shut down live streaming with inappropriate content which ranges from pornography to violence echoes the Chinese government’s determination to strengthen online security. In my opinion, such censorship should be welcomed in order to clear up vile live streaming in cyberspace.
    Our era witnesses a strange moment when cyber celebrities become prized brands and launch lucrative businesses by monetizing their influence on fans.   To attract the audience and make a huge profit, some online celebrities resort to inappropriate, and sometimes illegal ways to make a rapid rise to stardom. Objectionable content floods into online programs so that the cyberspace has become a place of moral corruption. To solve the problem, first of all, strict supervision on live streaming must be carried out round the clock to ensure that online programs comply with the laws and regulations. Once the live streaming websites break the rules, they will be warned, their services restricted and their accounts blacklisted. Moreover, online ethics should be encouraged and promoted both among netizens and cyber stars. The cyber stars shoulder the social responsibility of propagating positive energy with their big influence.
    To summarize, a sound and healthy cyber environment is everyone’s Edenic retreat from this harsh world. While enjoying the amusing live streaming, we needn’t worry about a foul environment that would choke us like a stone in the shoe.
