China’s top internet regulator announced action against ByteDance-owned Jinri Toutiao and Alibaba’s UCWeb for allegedly displaying harmful content, just a day after launching a two-month social media crackdown.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) vowed to target content involving “malicious incitement of conflict” and “negative outlooks on life such as world-weariness.”
Under Beijing’s rules, social media companies must strictly moderate posts, blocking anything considered subversive, vulgar, pornographic, or harmful.
