China Cracks Down on Online Harassment of Athletes Before National Games

China Cracks Down on Online Harassment of Athletes Before National Games

Imagine athletes are like stars, but sometimes people online can be mean and share private information about them, like their phone number or where they are staying.

This is called doxxing and can make athletes feel unsafe and scared.

China's internet police, called the CAC, have started a new project to stop this from happening.

They want to make sure that people don't share private details online to bully or harass athletes, especially with the big National Games coming up.

They are telling social media sites to delete mean posts and shut down accounts that are causing trouble.

This isn't the first time they've tried this, but they hope it will make things safer for athletes before this important event.
