China Proposes Draft Law to Combat Cyber Abuse

On July 29, 2026, the Cyberspace Administration of China released a draft law aimed at addressing cyber abuse, inviting public feedback until August 28. The legislation mandates internet service providers to notify users of potential cyber abuse risks and offer anti-abuse services. It also allows victims to seek court orders against confirmed abuse if providers fail to act. Special provisions are included for minors, older adults, and people with disabilities. Additionally, public interest litigation can be initiated if the abuse affects national or public interests. This move responds to increasing public concern over cyber abuse incidents.

Key Points: • China's draft law targets cyber abuse, requiring internet providers to alert users of risks. • Victims can seek court orders against offenders if providers do not act on confirmed abuse. • Public feedback on the draft law is open until August 28, 2026.
