Chinese Platforms Enhance Algorithm Transparency and Content Diversity

According to PANews, China's Cyberspace Administration is advancing its "Clear and Bright Algorithm Governance" initiative, overseeing platforms like Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Weibo to refine their recommendation systems. These platforms have introduced features such as "Cocoon Room Assessment" and "One-Click Cocoon Breaking" to enhance content diversity and user autonomy. Additionally, they are addressing public concerns about algorithm transparency and content quality by publicly explaining algorithm principles, promoting positive content, and filtering out vulgar material.
