China’s cyberspace regulator says 1.4 million social media posts have been deleted following a two-month investigation into alleged misinformation, illegal profiteering and impersonation of state officials, among other “pronounced problems”.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said in a statement on Friday that it had closed 67,000 social media accounts and deleted hundreds of thousands of posts between March 10 and May 22 as part of a broader “rectification” campaign.
Since 2021, China has targeted billions of social media accounts in a bid to “clean” cyberspace and make it easier for authorities to control.
