全国关闭多个违法网站和微信号

China's Cyberspace Administration has released a blacklist of websites, channels, and WeChat accounts which have been shut down over the past two months.

24 websites, 9 channels, and 17 WeChat accounts have all been closed due to serious violations of the law.

Some websites, such as Government Legal Web, are accused of publishing political news without permits or qualifications.

The channels closed are charged with spreading lewd or pornographic content. Several of the channels in question are owned by web giants like Sina and Tencent.

Some accounts shut down masqueraded as public organizations or media groups, such as The People's Daily and inspection groups of the China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and thus sent out fake information.

Other accounts were closed for selling counterfeit invoices and spreading information about gambling and guns.
