China's Weibo is purging violent and gay-themed content

Popular Chinese social network Weibo is removing violent and gay-themed content to comply with China's new cybersecurity regulations. The Twitter-like platform has announced that it's doing a three-month "clean-up campaign," which will mainly target "manga (Japanese comics) and videos with pornographic implications, promoting violence or (related to) homosexuality," as well as games with violent content like Grand Theft Auto.
