China has introduced a new measure to combat misinformation, requiring influencers sharing information on sensitive topics to hold a degree in that area.
The rule, which came into effect on 25 October under the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), is reportedly aimed at reducing online misinformation and protecting social media users from potentially harmful advice or guidance.
Influencers discussing subjects such as medicine, law, education, or finance must provide proof of their expertise, whether through a professional licence or degree. Platforms including Douyin (China's version of TikTok), Bilibili, and Weibo are tasked with verifying these credentials.
The CAC has also banned advertising for medical products and services, such as health foods and supplements, in an effort to curb promotions disguised as educational content.
So you're saying I can't continue promoting dick pills that might cause people's organs to boil? 
This very much seems like the sort of regulation that butthurt Republicans would get mad about in the same way that they get mad they don't have the "freedom" to dump industrial waste into rivers or abide by consumer protection laws, as if either of those things inhibit their daily life negatively at all.
The only thing this would actually do is to prevent assholes from trumpeting dumb shit as "facts" so people with too little time to factcheck things themselves will believe them.
