Original title Ministry of Culture: Further standardize the live broadcast of network performances and fully implement "double random and one public"

In order to effectively strengthen the management of network performances and standardize the order of network cultural market, the Ministry of Culture recently issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Network Performances, which regulates the behavior of network cultural business units to use information networks to disseminate the techniques or explanations of live artistic performances, online games and other cultural products.

The notice clearly states that the network performance business unit shall bear the main responsibility for the network performance provided by the unit, be responsible for the products, services and business operations provided, and ensure that the content is legal, the operation is orderly, the source can be investigated and the responsibility can be investigated.

The network performance business unit shall improve the content management system, allocate sufficient content reviewers, strictly supervise the performers 'performance behavior, and strengthen the management of user interaction links. It is necessary to tighten technical monitoring measures, unblock complaint reporting channels, improve emergency response mechanisms, and ensure that illegal and illegal contents can be discovered and disposed of as soon as possible. Once a network performance containing illegal content is found, the performance channel shall be closed in time, the network transmission shall be stopped, relevant records shall be kept, and the relevant provincial cultural administrative department or comprehensive law enforcement agency of the cultural market shall be reported immediately.

The circular requires that local cultural administrative departments and comprehensive law enforcement agencies of cultural markets should immediately carry out a survey of network performance business units within their respective administrative regions to comprehensively grasp the situation of network performance business units.

On this basis, make full use of the law enforcement cooperation mechanism of the network cultural market, fully implement the "double random and one open" for the network performance market, regularly carry out random spot checks, and timely announce the investigation results to the public. For the network performance business units with more complaints and reports, we should increase the frequency of random spot checks and focus on supervision. At the same time, illegal network performance business units and performers will be included in the blacklist or warning list, credit constraints and joint punishment. Among them, the blacklisted performers will be prohibited from continuing to engage in network performances and other business performance activities within a certain period of time, truly realizing "one illegal place, everywhere restricted".

The head of the Cultural Market Department of the Ministry of Culture introduced that in recent years, China's network performance market has developed rapidly, playing an active role in promoting innovation in the network culture industry, expanding and guiding cultural consumption, etc. However, with the spurt growth of online live broadcasting enterprises, some "platforms" have indifferent awareness of laws and regulations, lack of responsibility, and chaotic management. Some "anchors" attract attention with vulgar, pornographic and other illegal and illegal contents, causing bad social impact and seriously endangering the healthy development of the industry.

Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Culture has organized centralized investigation and law enforcement inspection, issued the 25th batch of illegal Internet cultural activities investigation list, and dealt with a number of online live broadcasting platforms engaged in illegal and illegal online performances according to law. At present, the Ministry of Culture is organizing local cultural administrative departments at all levels and comprehensive law enforcement agencies of the cultural market to carry out special rectification actions to conduct centralized investigation of network performance enterprises. The results of the investigation will be announced in the near future, and the first batch of blacklists of online performers will also be announced. In the next step, the Ministry of Culture will also issue special management norms.
