Tencent has created a list of guidelines for streamers in China, which follows up on the country’s requirements for internet governance.
Included in the list are predictable things like no inciting violence or giving out people’s private information, but also a ban on discussing religion, politics, nationalities or regions. In addition, there’s a catch-all rule of “no creating any negative social influences” which is very vague.
