(2) Biased and distorted dissemination of information on emergencies, making statements by posing as a party or related person, making connections to stir up old news and events; maliciously hyping negative topics involving college students, etc.

(3) Publishing texts, pictures, or audio-video related to ethnic or regional discrimination and inciting conflict between groups; staging scenes of local "impoverished" life and maliciously peddling pity in the name of documenting life or giving aid.

(5) Information that infringes upon or pirates images and symbols such as the University Games mascot, "Rongbao" or the Games' emblem; transmitting University Game's competitions online without permission or providing pirating links.

(6) Organizing “human flesh searches” [coordinated doxxing campaigns] to intentionally disclose the private personal information of athletes, referees, coaches, and so forth, to bring on cyberviolence; concentrating the publication of illegal or other negative information that insults, defames, berates, or attacks the people involved, endangering their physical and mental well-being.

All local internet information offices should increase their political position and thoroughly carry out special rectification efforts, urging website platforms in that region to fulfil their primary responsibilities, strengthen screening and dispositions, and punishing website platforms that do not fully implement efforts in accordance with laws and regulations. Online channels for making reports should be opened, setting up a special area for reporting on University Games on all online reporting platforms, and organizing key website platforms to set up special reporting portals for this Action in conspicuous locations.
