China tightens regulations on AirDrop and Bluetooth file sharing for national security.

China's national internet regulator has proposed restricting the use of mobile file-sharing services such as AirDrop and Bluetooth to prevent the spread of illegal and "undesirable" information. Activists fear that this will further hinder their ability to mobilise people or share information. Bluetooth, AirDrop and such file-sharing services are crucial tools in China, where the so-called Great Firewall has resulted in one of the mostly tightly-controlled internet regimes. The latest move, activists say, suppresses the few remaining file-sharing tools at their disposal, although China has defended these regulations in the name of national security and public interest.
