Teletubby 149,887 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The Chinese social media platform Weibo has banned 21 fan club accounts of South Korean celebrities, including one for the chart-topping K-pop sensation BTS, as Beijing attempts to tighten its grip on entertainment and culture industries. Weibo, China‘s version of Twitter, has imposed 30-day suspensions on 21 accounts belonging to fan clubs of such acts as BTS, NCT and IU. The list also included fan clubs of individual members of groups such as Red Velvet, BLACKPINK and Girls’ Generation. Weibo has also deleted content that prompted suspension. In addition, an account for fans of a BTS member, Jimin, was slapped with a 60-day ban, after photos of a customized airplane emblazoned with images of the singer circulated online last week. Weibo accused the account of raising funds illegally and added it was opposed to “such irrational star-chasing behavior.” The Chinese Communist Party recently announced measures to rein in celebrity worship and fan club culture, banning minors from spending money in support of their idols source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Fried Egg 8,918 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 China is also banning/ limiting video games as part of this crackdown. People are too blinded by hate to see what is actually happening. When a government has control over your freedom to enjoy the kind of music and video games you want, something is seriously wrong.
