Personal Information Protection Law

Doxxing, involving weaponized personal data for harassment, is escalating in China as a severe digital threat. Tech giant Tencent, targeting this on its platform QQ (597 million users), purged over 100,000 abusive posts, terminated 10,000+ harassment groups, and employs advanced algorithms/AI detection. This crackdown aligns with China’s intensified cyber governance and foreshadows stricter privacy law enforcement. Tencent’s approach, utilizing tech like neural networks and judicial reporting, may set a precedent for combating industrialized “doxxing economies” and balancing innovation with safety in web ecosystems.
