The Cyberspace Administration of China has issued disciplinary measures against popular platforms Kuaishou and Weibo. The warning cites failures in content management standards, with both platforms under fire for showcasing problematic trending topics, such as celebrity gossip and trivial personal updates.

The regulatory body is taking actions including summoning company representatives, handing out official warnings, and mandating corrections within a specified time frame to address these issues.

Additionally, Kuaishou's e-commerce arm, Kuaigou, is being investigated for possible violations of China's e-commerce laws, aimed at safeguarding consumer interests and small businesses. The company vows to cooperate fully with the authorities and improve compliance.
