Sina Weibo, one of China's most popular microblogging sites, introduced new rules for participation this week that discourage anonymous speech and punish spreading falsehoods based on the number of people that falsehood reached.

According to The International Business Times, Sina Weibo—which is something of a Twitter/Facebook hybrid and counts more than 300 million users—introduced new rules for its users on May 28 that give each person a credit rating of sorts. Users start out at 100 points if they sign up with their government-issued ID numbers (like American social security numbers) and a cell phone number; they start out with 80 points if they opt not to divulge that information.

If only we could do something like this...but then again it wouldn't be a lot of fun reading nothing but the truth.

Can't tell if you are sarcastic or not, but I highly doubt you'd be reading truth.

Personally, I don't trust a censor (of all people) to tell me what the truth is. A censor inherently has an agenda.

Exactly. Especially since so many people disagree on what's true.

It's just a form of censorship to warrant punishing people who speak out.

You know, just hurricane levels of oppression radiating through China like normal. SNAFU.
