Great Regulars: Authorities in the Chinese capital

have called on major Internet service providers to step up controls over online content, as some companies suspend the accounts of netizens accused of spreading rumors.

Popular microblogging service Sina Weibo recently sent out notices to its 200 million users denying two reports, including one about the killing of a 19-year-old woman.

It said the accounts of users who spread the reports had been "temporarily closed."
