China continues to step up its crackdown on social media

China has continued to step up its crackdown on social media, shutting down the accounts of some well-known internet stars.
Voice of America reported on May 28 that China has stepped up its crackdown on heavily restricted and monitored social media platforms, with Chinese investigative agencies shutting down the accounts of a number of popular Internet celebrities.
China's Tencent, Dowin, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Kuisha, and Blibili, among other social media platforms, issued a notice at the same time two weeks ago. In the notice, it was announced that the distribution of "unhealthy content, such as dreaming of wealth and fortune-telling," is prohibited.
According to France Agence France-Presse, some accounts with millions of followers, famous for displaying expensive clothes and jewelry, have been banned for "violating the rules.". Some other internet celebrities have also disappeared from the internet.
China's control and suppression of social media has been increasing year by year, and is being "cleansed" under various names. Some analysts have suggested that the crackdown is linked to China's economic recession, and that, at a time when life is getting worse and harder, the Chinese regime is worried about growing economic discontent among citizens due to online content that glorifies the luxury of life.
