China's online watchdog, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), has deleted 1.4 million social media posts and taken down 66,600 accounts in a two-month investigation targeting online violations.
China s cyberspace regulator said 1.4 million social media posts have been deleted following a two-month probe into alleged misinformation, illegal profiteering and impersonation of state officials, among other pronounced problems.
The latest crackdown targeted accounts on popular Chinese social media apps including WeChat, Douyin, and Weibo that fall under the category of "self-media."
