The WeChat platform resolutely cracks down on such illegal content and accounts.Measures such as banning and banning public accounts in violation of regulations such as “Black Material Interest Club”, “Worry Mountain Residence” and “Hanzi Says I Ching” have been taken.The platform will also further improve its governance capabilities and strictly deal with illegal content and accounts.
