What it requires

Build and maintain a feature database for identifying illegal and undesirable information, with entry standards, rules, and procedures.
Upon discovering illegal or undesirable information, take disposal measures and preserve relevant records in accordance with law, and promptly report the discovery to the cyberspace administration department and the relevant competent authority. The text marks only this reporting step as prompt, counted from the moment of discovery, and states no separate promptness standard for the disposal and record-keeping steps that precede it.
Separately take measures against the responsible user, such as warning, restricting features, suspending the service, or closing the account, in accordance with law and your service agreement.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 10 of the Provisions on the Administration of Deep Synthesis Internet Information Services requires a deep synthesis service provider to strengthen its management of deep synthesis content, review users' input data and synthesis output by technical or manual means, build a database of features for identifying illegal and undesirable information, and record and retain the related network logs.

Where the provider discovers illegal or undesirable information, the article requires it to take disposal measures and preserve relevant records in accordance with law, and to promptly report the discovery to the cyberspace administration department and the relevant competent authority, while separately taking measures such as warning, restricting features, suspending service, or closing the account against the user responsible.

Only the reporting step in that sentence carries the word 'promptly' in the text; the disposal and record-preservation steps that precede it carry no separate promptness standard of their own.
