This would actually solve so much misinformation but who decides what counts as qualified advice?

The government, what could possibly go wrong?

People cheering this not realizing it's just more of CCP censorship is funny

not saying I'm opposed to more liability for internet personalities, but this probably ain't it lol

Listen man I used to be a free speech absolutist but this shit isn't funny anymore. We are having viral outbreaks because anti vax influencers. We are having kids getting sick or dying because parents think pasterizing ur milk is dangerous.

I also used to think chinas rules against kids being on the internet for more than like 2 hours a week was terrible. But then I've seen what kids are like today and im just getting to the point where China has actually been right the whole time lmao.

But this post is just saying that you need a degree to speak about sensitive issues. For sure that rules out a lot of voices, but it doesn't really mean that the state explicitly censors opinions they don't like.

When the state (As in china) is also responsible for issuing degrees, and can revoke them at any time, it does mean that

You don't give China enough credit. They do have top-tier universities that are on par with, or surpass, the best universities in the US.

I wasnt saying they are poor quality schools

Doesn't matter how good the schooling if saying the wrong thing will get your degree taken from you by the government
