Chinese netizens under the age of 14 will no longer be allowed to register a micro-blogging account on Sina Weibo, beginning next month, the service provider said last Tuesday.
新浪微博官方于上周二表示，从下个月开始，14岁以下的中国网民将不允许注册新浪微博账号。
The move is to protect the cybersecurity of youngsters and to help build a clean, healthy, civilized and organized online environment in the future, according to a statement issued by the platform's operator on its official micro blog.
平台运营商在其官方微博上发表的一则声明称，此举是为了保护青少年的网络安全，并在未来能为他们建立一个干净、健康、文明有组织的网络环境。
But the operator said it is trying to design and develop a special version of the Weibo platform for younger users in line with laws and regulations as soon as possible to ensure that minors are protected more effectively.
不过该运营商表示，他们正在尝试根据法律法规，尽快为年轻用户设计开发一个特殊版本的微博，以确保未成年人得到更有效的保护。
"We've always paid high attention to protecting the young people, and we never stop our steps to create a better online space for them," it said. "We welcome all users to supervise us and work together with us to make the platform safer and cleaner."
声明中写道：“我们一直高度重视对年轻人的保护，从未停止过努力为他们创造一个更好的网络空间。我们欢迎所有用户来监督、合作，共同打造一个更安全、更干净的微博平台。”
Sina Weibo opened to the public in late 2009. By September last year, it had 376 million users per month actively using the service, such as reading information, sharing online posts and making comments, up 27 percent year-on-year, according to a report the platform's data center released at the end of 2017.

Among these active users, about 16 percent were under the age of 18, it said, adding more than 56 percent were men.
