I didn't see anywhere in the Chinese article that mentioned "politically sensitive information", "bring news about Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan that has not been reported by official news channels", publish “military information.” The sentence "spread rumors" is mentioned in combination with "scamming" and should be focusing on "scamming" part.
We all know what "spread rumors" stands for.
No you really don't

#95> YOU are of opinion it would be proper to establish a company of firemen in Nicomedia, [similar] to what has been practised in several other cities. But it is to be remembered that societies of this sort have greatly disturbed the peace of the province in general, and of those cities in particular. Whatever name we give them, and for whatever purposes them may be founded, they will not fail to form themselves into f…
If you look at the history of many early US volunteer firefighter organizations, he wasn't exactly wrong. They often became gangs of a sort, taking advantage of people who they were "helping" and competition between groups often got violent. That's how Boss Tweed got his start in politics.

What happens if you get women together?
Please don't post unsubstantive comments here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I have posted and do frequently see "unsubstantive" comments, but somehow the mere connotation of gender is a flag.
