A regulation banning online manhunts has been passed in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, the local people's congress said on its website yesterday.
The regulation, which prevents people from publishing "private information" on the Internet, will be implemented on June 6, it said.
People who do so will be fined up to 5,000 yuan and could be banned from using the Internet for six months, the notice said without elaborating.
