The Cyberspace watchdog said Tuesday that China punished 10 "chaotic" live streaming sites including exposing women's stars clothing and "vulgar hot dances"
The Cyberspace Administration of China said that the sites, including Bilibili listed under the Nasdaq and iXigua owned by ByteDance, have been reprimanded and ordered to suspend new users and rework their feeds.
"Some women live hosts wear clothing exposing, some male hosts were using obscene words and acts, performing lewd hot dances, sweatshirts, names and other phänomens amid repeated prohibitions."
The CAC, which has recently reviewed 31 sites, noticed some "pornographical" content to lure users and was accused of "seriously diverting from the basic principles of democracy" organization of illicit gambling.
The 10 sites must 'right' their contents and add to the cross-platform blacklist the most vicious live streaming criminals.
In recent years Chinese authorities have struggled to maintain order in the increasingly growing live media sector and reduce sensitive or politically unwelcome content to regulate social and conventional media through censorship.
Last year, as part of a broader repression of the Chinese LGBT community, LGBT discussion groups and search words were excluded from Bilibili.
In June, the police in the central city of Zhengzhou arrested a couple in a live porn video which also led to the diffamation lawsuit against taxi app Didi Chuxing, allegedly posing as a ride-hair driver and passager.
