BEIJING, March 3 (Zhongxin.com) -- The Internet has become an essential part of daily study and life, but at the same time, problems such as online addiction and cyberbullying among teenagers have frequently appeared in hot searches, causing social concern and worry.
In the Internet era, people have a convenient channel for information transmission and voice expression, for the majority of teenagers, in cyberspace, their channels for obtaining information are more diverse, and their personalities are fully displayed in the virtual world.
However, as teenagers' access to the Internet deepens, some "black hands" of Internet chaos or illegal acts have also begun to reach out to teenagers. For example, some people carry out "air obscenity" and fraud in the name of online dating online chats, child star recruitment, campus loans, etc., and spread student bullying videos and pornographic drainage links in social groups; Some learning apps illegally insert content such as advertising and marketing, game links, etc., and some children's smart devices have problems such as pornography, violence, game addiction, and induced consumption.
In terms of threshold setting for teenagers, some apps can turn off the previously opened teen mode by "uninstalling and reinstalling"; Some platforms require real-name authentication, but there are also so-called "ID number generators" online that can bypass this checkpoint; There are also teen patterns that cannot be broken down by different age groups.
On March 3, at the press conference of the Information Office of the State Council, the Cyberspace Administration of China introduced the relevant situation of the "Qinglang" series of special actions in 28. According to reports, the Cyberspace Administration of China has deployed and carried out special actions to rectify the online environment for minors for three consecutive years, severely cracking down on all kinds of chaos, and effectively curbing the momentum of the spread of illegal content.

Making the online environment clear for minors is an arduous system project. Platform self-discipline, self-control and supervision by relevant departments should play a joint role. Internet enterprises shall strengthen online regulation, giving the highest priority to the protection of minors, drafting regulations on the protection of minors by online information service platforms, and promptly intervening and reporting problems when they are discovered.
To escort minors to the healthy Internet, it is necessary not only to strengthen governance, but also to reflect the temperature of protection.
This year, the Cyberspace Administration of China will work with relevant departments to carry out special governance on the problem of teenagers' addiction to short videos. Supervise and urge platforms to strengthen front-end management such as application launch and content release, strengthen functional safety risk assessment, prohibit the appearance of all kinds of illegal and undesirable content, and must not induce minors to recharge and consume in the name of breaking through games or purchasing virtual items. For software and equipment that violates laws and regulations, the punishment of the punishment and the removal of the shelf will be publicly exposed and deterred. The youth mode will be comprehensively upgraded, while enriching the content of different ages, the time and function will be scientifically limited, and the difficulty of use will be reduced to the minimum threshold, so that the mode will truly become a "protective shield" for minors to surf the Internet healthily.
To guide minors to go online healthily, we must not only sing "one-man show", but also play a "combination fist". While assuming the main responsibility, platform enterprises should also take the initiative to join hands with families, schools, governments, social organizations, etc., to jointly escort minors swimming in the Internet information ocean.
