Weibo, China’s Twitter, announced on Thursday that it would begin publishing users’ IP addresses on their account pages and when they post comments in an effort to combat “bad behaviour” online.
The change, which was announced on Weibo’s official account, received over 200 million views and was widely debated, with some users concerned about their online anonymity being compromised.
“Every IP address appears to whisper in your ear, ‘You be careful,'” user Misty commented.
Others, on the other hand, indicated they supported the measures because of COVID-related disinformation.
