Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has recently urged websites and platforms to shut down or permanently ban a number of accounts involved in vulgar hype, gossip, and scandals, as part of ongoing efforts to crack down on fan circle disorder in the entertainment industry.
According to a statement released by the official WeChat account of the CAC, the accounts that were shut down or permanently banned in accordance with laws and platform rules include "Chaoneng Sheying Yangyang," "Sheying Liu Dachui," and "Laoban Wang Dafa," among others.
CAC criticized the accounts in question for secretly photographing and following celebrities during private, non-public appearances, and for publishing unverified "scoops." Some accounts were accused of fabricating or spreading false information under the guise of "insiders," while others used clickbait headlines and fake previews to create hype and deliberately attract traffic. Still others employed coded language and metaphors to sensationalize celebrity gossip without restraint - all of which, the statement said, seriously undermine the integrity of the online environment.
The statement said CAC will continue to press websites and platforms to fulfill their primary responsibilities, urging them to strictly implement regulations such as the Provisions on the Governance of the Online Information Content Ecosystem and the Notice on Efforts Related to Further Strengthening Regulation of Online Information about Entertainment Celebrities.
Efforts will focus on curbing excessive entertainment-oriented content and vulgar hype, resolutely addressing the problems of traffic-driven values and chaotic fan circle disorder, strengthening online law enforcement, and striving to foster a positive and uplifting online environment, said the statement.
At the same time, CAC also encouraged the public to participate in supervision and reporting, working together to build a clean and healthy cyberspace.
