BEIJING — Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter, told users on Thursday it would start to publish their IP locations on their account pages and when they post comments, in a bid to combat"bad behaviour" online.
"Especially at a time when the Covid-19 situation is still serious, IP's being swiftly revealed can effectively reduce the appearance of disgusting content from rumour-makers and rumour-spreaders," wrote user UltraScarry. For users in China, the platform will display the province or municipality where they are posting from, it said. For those using Weibo overseas, the country of users' IP addresses will be displayed.
"Weibo has always been committed to maintaining a healthy and orderly atmosphere of discussion and protecting the rights and interests of users to quickly obtain real and effective information," the notice read.
