China Warns of Jail for Viral Posts Deemed Libel if "too many people"
view or repost them
http://j.mp/15OIjKd (New York Times)
"Chinese authorities have further tightened controls of its social
media, warning that people who post comments deemed libelous and that
are reposted 500 or more times will face defamation charges and up to
three years in prison. Judicial authorities have said the rules would
also apply to people whose posts are viewed by at least 5,000 Internet
users."
