1. **Administrative Provisions on Deep Synthesis of Internet Information Services**: Effective from January 10, 2023, it mandates deep synthesis service providers to take responsibility for information security and establish various rules and systems such as user registration, review of algorithm mechanisms, scientific and technological ethics review, information release review, data security, personal information protection, anti-telecommunication fraud, and emergency response, among others. Service providers are also required to add identifiable marks to deepfake content.
