China Orders 26 Audio Apps to Shut Down Amid 'Pornography' Probe

A total of 26 audio-focused apps in China were ordered to terminate, suspend services, or have talks with regulators as they were investigated and deemed to have spread “historical nihilism” and “pornography,” according to a notice posted by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC). The clampdown has, in a way, been foreshadowed by a recent attack of user-generated audio content.
