我国新闻出版管理部门日前发布规定，提供视频和音频节目的社交媒体平台必须取得相关许可证。

　　The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television has recently issued a document strengthening the regulation of video and audio programs on social media platforms, such as Weibo and WeChat, ordering such platforms to obtain licenses.

　　国家新闻出版广电总局近日发布了关于加强微博、微信等社交媒体平台传播视听节目管理的文件，要求此类平台取得许可证。

　　If organizations and individuals operate online streaming services on social media platforms such as Weibo or WeChat without licenses, the platforms should be held responsible for the content.

　　根据文件，未持有许可证的机构和个人在微博、微信等社交媒体平台开展互联网流媒体服务，应由平台对节目内容负责。
