The Cybersecurity Law was passed in November 2016 and took effect in June 2017, stipulating that platforms are also held responsible when anti-Communist or pornographic content appears on them, and that group owners may be punished if someone in a group violates the rules; thereafter, all platforms greatly increased their content moderation staff.
