Have you ever seen someone online claiming they have a way to cure what ails you, only to discover later that their “cure” involves something like taking 15 supplements and covering your feet in peanut butter?

Thanks in large part to the rise of podcasts and influencer culture, charlatans peddling quack info have seen a goldrush in recent years. Pay an influencer enough money — or find one that’s sufficiently stupid to do it for free — and they’ll happily peddle just about anything, ranging from pills that make your brain more powerful to tea that will definitely shrink your tummy…somehow.

China has seen the rise of this abroad and locally and decided enough is enough. According to Mint, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) recently announced that influencers must have verifiable degrees and professional accreditations before opining on specific subjects. These subjects include “sensitive” subjects like medicine, law, education, or finance.

In order to comply with this law, social media companies must verify the credentials of anyone posting such information, as well as ensuring that any posts on the topics contain proper citations and disclaimers.

As best as one can tell on Chinese social media, the law seems to be receiving a positive response, though there are understandable concerns about censorship. That said, one can’t help but get a little jealous of rules like these after seeing the state of *our* social media — and seeing their aunt repost a 15th video about how getting a tan on your taint will cure the common cold. For the last time, Aunt Edith, no, it won’t!
