China’s push to cleanse its internet of unsavoury elements appears to have claimed an unlikely victim, with thousands of videos of children’s cartoon programme Peppa Pig reportedly culled from a video app.
Douyin, an online video platform owned by technology firm Beijing Bytedance Technology Co, removed all trace of the British TV show, the state-run China Daily reported on May 1. The app had previously carried more than 30,000 videos related to Peppa Pig, according to state media.
