Per the article: "The term “security barrier” is reminiscent of the so-called “Great Firewall” – a term used to describe the myriad legislative actions and technologies regulating the internet in and around the Middle Kingdom. The Great Firewall ensures, among other things, censorship and limited access to any foreign media service or entity that may not be aligned with Party values.
Many foreign organizations have found it difficult to navigate the constant onslaught of regulations coming from Beijing. LinkedIn, Google, Meta and Zoom are all part of a growing list of businesses that have turned their backs on Xi’s paradise.
Recent regulations from China have also targeted more conventionally unwanted domestic behaviors – such as toxic online fan clubs and opportunistic livestreamers taking money from children.
In late February, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said it cleaned up 54.3 million pieces of information it deemed undesirable in 2022 alone.
According to Alibaba-owned news outlet South China Morning Post, the weekend’s newly announced directions immediately led to the implementation of a week-long anti-rumor campaign from China’s Ministry of Public Security. The campaign includes activating police departments to spread warnings about misinformation.
As part of the campaign, Shanghai police already reported on Chinese social media website Weibo they have targeted 258 people and shut down 460 illegal accounts for violations. Police in Sichuan province reportedly dealt with five individuals and 52 cases of rumormongering and shut down 116 online accounts"
Sounds like it is formalizing the regulations regarding toxic online fan clubs and opportunistic livestreamers and adding it to the list of regulations that encompass the Great Firewall, while stating that the Great Firewall / Chinese Cybersecurity & Telecom will be subject to Xi Jinping thought, same as the recent Socialist A.I announcement. Essentially all tech must be developed with those tenets in mind.
“Ensuring Communist Party of China leadership over all forms of work in China.”
and Adopting new science-based ideas for “innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development”.
China considers it self to be so as the Modern CPC follows Xi Jinping thought which is defined by wikipedia as:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping_Thought
"Xi Jinping Thought consists of a 14-point basic policy as follows:
Ensuring Communist Party of China leadership over all forms of work in China.
The Communist Party of China should take a people-centric approach for the public interest.
The continuation of "comprehensive deepening of reforms".
Adopting new science-based ideas for "innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development".
Following "socialism with Chinese characteristics" with "people as the masters of the country".
Governing China with the Rule of Law.
"Practise socialist core values", including Marxism–Leninism and socialism with Chinese characteristics.
"Improving people's livelihood and well-being is the primary goal of development".
Coexist well with nature with "energy conservation and environmental protection" policies and "contribute to global ecological safety".
Strengthen the national security of China.
The Communist Party of China should have "absolute leadership over" China's People's Liberation Army.
Promoting the one country, two systems system for Hong Kong and Macau with a future of "complete national reunification" and to follow the One-China principle and 1992 Consensus for Taiwan.
Establish a common destiny between the Chinese people and other peoples around the world with a "peaceful international environment".
Improve party discipline in the Communist Party of China
In economic matters, Xi Jinping thought highlights the historical importance of state-owned enterprises."
Many scientists have discussed the impact that positive feedback loops have in climate science and why events will occur with increasing frequency and severity in the coming years:

Here are some short films that discuss the various areas that these occur within.
For me I have hope that by spreading awareness and organizing we can work together to pressure our governments around the world to embrace the change needed
The upcoming election in Taiwan is very important there is some discontent with the DPP, as shown here: https://twitter.com/Chunyu_China/status/1680857161751236609
Also this article has a great breakdown of the political situation there: https://jamestown.org/program/why-taiwans-2024-presidential-election-is-wide-open/

“Shortly after Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) suffered the worst loss in its 37-year history, Nikkei Asia Review published an article entitled “Taiwan’s KMT has a mountain to climb for 2024 presidential race” that cautioned not to read too much into the opposition Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) success in the local elections last November (Nikkei Asia, November 29, 2022).”
“Much like its handling of the pandemic, the Tsai administration’s cross-Strait policy was popular early in her second term, but is showing signs of strain given its inflexible nature. To be sure, Taiwanese elected Tsai in part because they trusted her more than the KMT’s 2020 presidential nominee Han Kuo-yu to safeguard Taiwan’s sovereignty and way of life. As Tsai defeated Han in a landslide in which she received 57.1 percent of the vote, she entered her second term with a strong mandate to stand firm against Chinese aggression (Taipei Times, January 12, 2020). However, the ripple effect from U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last August has complicated what had been a straightforward task for the DPP. As long as China’s coercion of Taiwan was confined to sanctions, poaching of diplomatic allies and small-scale gray-zone activity, the Tsai administration could focus on strengthening ties with the U.S., Japan and other democracies, while taking care not to escalate tensions with Beijing. The DPP faced little public pressure to re-establish dialogue with China given it’s hostility toward Taiwan, especially when the pandemic occupied the attention of Taiwanese society. Pelosi’s visit was a game changer, though. Even if many Taiwanese welcomed the diplomatic recognition the visit conferred on their country, after observing China’s unprecedented martial muscle flexing, they realized that the stakes of this game had risen sharply”
As with most countries the prospect of a war that could destroy economy, kill citizens, and prevent any peaceful discussions is one not favored by most.
From the article: “adopting new rules for tech firms that include disclosure of copyrighted and AI-generated content” “EU lawmakers in June agreed to a trailblazing set of draft rules, which would make companies such as ChatGPT operator OpenAI disclose AI-generated content, help distinguish so-called deep fake images from real ones and ensure safeguards against illegal content.”
So in pursuits of protecting artists & data which is in line with the GDPR, while reducing the amount of disinformation that these types of technologies can create.

While I did make many posts within a short period of time none of them are the same content and are all relevant websites. I am able to be active during specific times of the day so I post the world news articles when I receive them from breaking news sites.
I was banned because I was suspected of being a bot and asked to provide proof which I did and was unbanned, that is fair moderation in my opinion to try and keep out post bots.
