China's cyberspace regulator has taken action against ByteDance's Toutiao and Alibaba's UCWeb for content violations. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has penalized these platforms as part of its mission to maintain ‘clean’ cyberspace, with a focus on curbing harmful or critical sentiments.
China's cyberspace watchdog has taken regulatory actions against ByteDance's news platform Toutiao and Alibaba's browser operator UCWeb for violating content regulations. These moves are part of a larger government campaign to control online user behavior, emphasizing the promotion of a positive social sentiment.
