China's internet watchdog has taken action against Bytedance's Jinri Toutiao and Alibaba's UCWeb for allegedly spreading harmful content. This move follows the launch of a two-month campaign by Beijing to tighten control over online content, targeting material that incites conflict or promotes negative outlooks. The platforms face penalties for failing to properly manage information and posting sensitive content.
