All those involved have been placed under administrative detention, and their relevant livestreaming accounts have been shut down.In an official reminder, the cybersecurity authority of the Ministry of Public Security stressed that cyberspace is not a lawless zone. Streamers who chase attention through vulgarity and violence will face legal consequences. Platforms are urged to strictly fulfill their primary responsibilities, strengthen content censorship, and adopt a zero\u2011tolerance policy toward rule\u2011violating accounts.The public is encouraged to consciously resist vulgar and violent content and promptly report illegal activity to jointly safeguard a healthy online ecosystem, the cybersecurity authority added.\u00a0Many netizens voiced support for the work of cyber police on social media, stating that it is very necessary to maintain a clean online space.Global Times\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 detained in action against \u2018brutality PK\u2019 livestreams in China: cybersecurity authority https:\/\/www.globaltimes.cn\/page\/202604\/1360132.shtml Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":207242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.globaltimes.cn\/Portals\/0\/attachment\/2024\/2024-10-16\/387c1b8d-26b3-4b7d-97d6-063509bf3323.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-207241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207241"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207241"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207243,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207241\/revisions\/207243"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
