The Cyberspace Administration of China issued draft regulations on recommendation algorithms on Friday, soliciting public opinions. The draft says that recommendation algorithm service providers are not allowed to register false accounts, trade accounts illegally, manipulate clients' accounts, give false information about the quality of products or carry out unfair competition using algorithms.

In other words, algorithms must be used to provide better services for clients and customers, and they cannot be employed to manipulate customers and clients for profit-making by guiding them to buy particular products or services.

The algorithm providers do their best to make consumers and clients believe that the algorithms know them better than they know themselves, and they should purchase whatever the algorithms suggest, as the algorithms know what is best for them and what they will love.
