Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Focus on rectifying the problem of blocking URL links on Internet platforms
For a long time, platforms such as WeChat, Douyin, Taobao, Pinduoduo, and Alipay cannot share URL links with each other.
The platform restricts the identification, analysis, and normal access of URL links without justifiable reasons, which affects user experience, damages user rights, and disrupts market order.
At the press conference, the Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xiao Yaqing said that my country's platform economy has developed rapidly and the overall situation is good.
Some problems also appeared in this process. To solve these problems, some need to be solved technically, some need to be solved from management, some problems need to be solved in a coordinated and systematic manner from all aspects, and some problems need to be solved from a development perspective.
"In short, Internet security is the bottom line. The development of the Internet must be able to make people's lives more convenient, help all aspects of development, and ultimately promote the healthy and orderly development of the Internet industry and platform economy." Xiao Yaqing said.
According to Zhao Zhiguo, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Director of the Information and Communication Administration, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a six-month special rectification action in the Internet industry in July. Blocking URL links is also one of the key rectification issues.
Zhao Zhiguo said that at present, he is guiding relevant Internet companies to carry out self-examination and rectification in accordance with the plan of the special action.
Companies are required to pragmatically promote different types of problems such as blocking URL links in instant messaging in accordance with the rectification requirements, which can be resolved step by step and in stages.
Zhao Zhiguo said that the next step is to strengthen administrative guidance, and continue to hold administrative guidance meetings and other methods to urge enterprises to implement rectification and reform.
The second is to strengthen supervision and inspection to ensure that problems can be rectified in place.
The third is to strengthen legal disposal, and will also take disposal measures in accordance with laws and regulations for companies that have not undergone thorough rectification.

A small step for interconnection, a big step for the Internet ecology
Regarding the issue of "the rectification platform of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology blocked website links", "interconnection is a small step, and the Internet ecology is a big step." Many netizens commented like this.
"This has paved the way for my country's Internet industry to enter the era of full interconnection, and has important reference value for the relevant anti-monopoly law enforcement supervision and judicial litigation that are currently being implemented." Zhai Wei, executive director of the Competition Law Research Center of East China University of Political Science and Law, told Chinanews.com The reporter said.
Internet industry analyst Ma Jihua told a reporter from Chinanews.com that interconnection is the general trend.

Entrepreneurs of all sizes will no longer be treated differently by the platform due to capital attributes, which is vital to the development of the digital economy. .
Zhai Wei also believes that interconnection can form an open and shared Internet ecosystem, promote fair competition among Internet companies, reduce transaction costs for the majority of users, and ultimately promote technological innovation and iterative upgrades in the digital economy.
"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology puts forward the compliance standards for instant messaging software, which can effectively prevent super-large platform companies from curbing innovation and avoid the situation of'no grass grows under the big tree' in the Internet industry. It focuses on realizing technological innovation and improving the welfare of the public." Zhai Wei said.

Will
unblocking URL link blocking cause
spam all over the
sky?
On social platforms, some netizens have doubts: "Is there any marketing and fraudulent information flying in the sky if you let go of URL link blocking?" Some netizens worry about data security and user privacy.
However, Zhai Wei believes that after interconnection, marketing information will not be flooded, nor will it cause large-scale security and privacy issues.
"On the one hand, the current regulatory agencies have established a relatively complete identification, monitoring, and handling mechanism for illegally sending marketing information and infringing on security and privacy; on the other hand, most Internet platform companies have technical reserves to curb the proliferation of marketing information and protect security and privacy. And experience accumulation."
“Currently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s unblocking policy has not yet involved the issue of data connection between different platforms. In the future, full interconnection may be related to data security, but relevant national laws have been perfected.” Ma Jihua said, but from a long-term development perspective, data security should not be a problem. An excuse to refuse interconnection.
