China's microblog restricts user posts

A popular Chinese microblogging site is introducing new rules that could see users banned for posting about sensitive political topics. Sina Weibo's new regulations took effect May 28 and would suspend a user for two days for posting content five or more times containing politically sensitive words or images. The company says if the information is viewed as being spread maliciously, the account may be deleted altogether. The Twitter-like site has more than 300 million registered users. (AP)
