Popular Chinese social apps Momo, Tantan and DingTalk have implemented a one-month ban on users posting social updates after they were ordered by authorities to clean up “illegal content” amid the government’s ongoing crackdown on cyberspace.
Momo, a Chinese hook-up app turned live-streaming video platform with over 113 million active users, said on Friday it would shut a social newsfeed section on its app for one month starting from May 11, in accordance with “directives of the relevant government authority”. It would also strengthen “content screening efforts” during the one-month suspension, according to the company.
