BEIJING: China鈥檚 cyber regulator on Friday said it was investigating the country鈥檚 top social media sites over failing to comply with strict laws that ban content which is violent, obscene or deemed offensive to the Communist Party.
The Cyberspace Administration said it was investigating Tencent Holdings鈥� WeChat, Weibo and Baidu鈥檚 forum site Tieba over suspected violations of the country鈥檚 strict cybersecurity laws.
鈥淯sers are spreading violence, terror, false rumors, pornography and other hazards to national security, public safety, social order,鈥� the regulator said on its website.
The companies did not immediately respond to e-mails and phone calls seeking comment on the probe.
This is the latest in a series of regulatory actions against the country鈥檚 top tech firms as China鈥檚 cyber authorities adopt an increasingly hardened stance on censorship, doling out harsh punishments to firms that fail to comply.
Cyber surveillance is being tightened further ahead of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China expected to be held later this year, when global attention will be on news coming from the world鈥檚 second-biggest economy.
Last month, cyber authorities called on the same firms to carry out immediate 鈥渃leaning and rectification鈥� at a meeting with their representatives, where the authorities cited specific examples of illicit content, including rumors about party officials and misrepresenting Chinese military history.
Prior to the meeting, Weibo was ordered to partially close its video site over violations, wiping out a combined $1.3 billion (SR4.88 billion) worth of stock between Weibo and parent firm Sina Corp.
Messaging app WeChat and microblogging service Weibo are China鈥檚 most popular social media platforms, and have thrived due to the absence of western competitors like Facebook and Twitter that are banned by the country鈥檚 censors.
WeChat and Weibo have about 940 million and 350 million monthly active users, respectively.
