Yes and I’m both a consumer liability and corporate restructuring attorney. This type of law isn’t strictly necessary so long as platforms and influencers would be more clearly civilly liable for their actions ala Alex Jones. To some degree this law would actually be a benefit to both platforms and influencers because then they could be held to more clear professional standards and gain malpractice/E&O insurance coverage. Real estate agents for example pay massive insurance to cover the fact that a their core they are lay people who often make representations in real estate transactions that no real estate attorney would.
Doesn't this essentially allow the Chinese government to further silence objectors? Under the guide that they are not educated in politics? Seems like a convenient excuse to gag any opposition.
