China launched the Internet cleansing campaign this April in a bid to eliminate content related to pornography and violence in the cyberspace.
Many of these accounts were shut down by Internet companies such as Sina and Tencent after an internal "self-check," and many were reported by the public. The office also organized special inspections, it said.
