Zhejiang party officials call for curbs on tech platforms' traffic power

Zhejiang provincial party committee's publicity department published a commentary urging greater oversight of major internet platforms, arguing that online traffic and algorithms have become a force shaping public discourse. This signals a potential policy shift toward tighter regulation of platform influence, though it remains a provincial-level statement with unclear national implications. The move aligns with Beijing's broader campaign to control online content and could foreshadow new restrictions on tech giants.
