BEIJING: China's top internet regulator said Tuesday (Sept 23) it would take action against ByteDance-owned news app Jinri Toutiao and Alibaba's internet browser company UCWeb for allegedly displaying harmful content, a day after announcing a two-month social media crackdown.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) vowed on Monday to combat content containing "malicious incitement of conflict" and "negative outlooks on life such as world-weariness".
