JAKARTA - China on Saturday, May 7 ordered internet platforms to improve governance of how children under 18 use their live streaming services. The move is part of an ongoing regulatory crackdown on the booming internet sector.

According to the National Radio and Television Administration, in a statement, the Platform needs to increase controls to stop underage users from tipping live streamers or becoming live streamers themselves without their guardian's consent.

They also need to strengthen rush hour management for such shows and the show should be "force shutdown" at 10pm local time for users with their "teen mode" and parental control functions

The order comes after China last month launched a special two-month campaign to clean up the "chaos" in its online live streaming and short video business, as part of a broader plan to promote content it deems appropriate and legal.

Among the country's most prominent live streaming platforms are ByteDance's Douyin, China's equivalent of TikTok, Kuaishou, Alibaba-based Bilibili, as well as Huya and Douyu, both of which are supported. by Tencent Holdings.
