Funny, they seem to be more proactive about putting laws around it there already (1), and that hasn't stopped progress at all, while protecting the vested interests they care about.

If only our law makers were so capable of a) understanding whats going on and b) actually passing laws when it mattered.

That is obviously going to happen in mainland China specially when it may affect the CCP's plans in some way (i.e. even "morally" in the case of Xi Jinping deepfakes).

Are they going to enforce it for products/services sold overseas? I'm not so sure, not until I see watermarks in Tiktok's content.

Like, are you a troll or you just don't know how laws work?

Tiktok literally exports all videos with watermarks, its the people that remove them to post on reddit lmao how clueless are you

Just look for the words "China IP law infrigement" in Google FFS, if that is trolling, well, then I'm trolling.

About watermarks, I'm obviously talking about AI generated content watermarks, not general tiktok watermarks. I guess I should've been more concrete with my phrasing as some people can't read considering context.

I think perhaps one of the reasons they were so quick to push was for the introduction of a section saying the content generated by such services should not contain elements that could subvert state power, incite secession or disrupt social order, according to the rules [1].

Is there any evidence of mass compliance with these regulations? It seems basically impossible to enforce in a humane and fair way. Such laws will be used to prosecute political minorities if they are enforced at all.
