China has introduced a new policy requiring online influencers to hold relevant academic degrees before discussing topics like law, finance, medicine, and education. The intention is clear — to improve credibility, reduce misinformation, and protect audiences from unverified advice. But it also raises important questions about the future of digital speech and the definition of expertise in today’s creator economy. In the modern digital landscape, many respected voices are self-taught experts or experienced practitioners without formal education. Restricting them could limit diverse perspectives, innovation, and open dialogue. At the same time, this move opens up a parallel conversation for countries like India, where social media often amplifies “fake gurus,” pseudo-experts, and misleading influencers. Should India also consider similar regulations — not to silence voices, but to ensure authenticity, accountability, and trust in expert-driven content? As global discussions around AI-driven misinformation and digital accountability grow, such policies could redefine how we balance accuracy, freedom, and creativity online. 💬 What’s your take? Should formal education — or proven experience — decide who can speak on certain topics online? #China #India #DigitalPolicy #InfluencerMarketing #SocialMedia #Misinformation #CreatorEconomy #OnlineRegulation #DigitalEthics
