Chinese Authorities Shut Down 130,000 Accounts in Online Child Protection Sweep

Daniel Kim Views  

Chinese authorities have ramped up efforts to curb harmful online content, deleting material specifically targeting minors. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) announced through its official WeChat account that it has been conducting a special enforcement campaign since July, resulting in the removal and blocking of 4.3 million pieces of harmful content related to minors. The CAC has shut down over 130,000 accounts and more than 2,000 websites and platforms.

This crackdown identified numerous live-streaming and short-form videos considered harmful to young people. Authorities have also begun addressing doxxing, where individuals unlawfully disclose minors’ personal information, such as names, schools, and social media accounts, aiming to curb cyberbullying. Strict laws have also been enforced against the production and distribution of child pornography.

In its efforts to protect minors, the CAC has also disclosed various online sales sites and illegal apps that exploit children. The CAC stated it would continue to enforce strict regulations and penalties to protect youth from harmful online content and urged internet users to report any violations.

This is part of a broader initiative, as China has periodically conducted internet clean-up operations since 2021.
