China tightens rules on digital humans and bans addictive services for minors Change China's Cyberspace Administration released a draft regulation on April 3 requiring prominent labels on all virtual-human content, banning virtual intimate-relationship services for users under 18, and prohibiting creation of digital humans from personal data without consent; the draft is open for public consultation until May 6, 2026. Why it matters The draft creates binding design and content constraints that require online services to add identity labels, build age-checks and consent flows, and remove product features that simulate personal relationships for minors. Platforms must also strengthen moderation controls to filter material the regulator deems harmful to state stability or likely to cause addiction or harm to vulnerable users. voi.id · Apr 4 More actions Like (sign in) Save (sign in) Share Facebook LinkedIn X / Twitter Copy link
