China's CAC scrubs 5.6M AI-generated slop posts, 49K accounts in deepfake crackdown

China's Cyberspace Administration removed over 5.61 million pieces of AI-generated harmful content and 49,000 accounts in a campaign against synthetic media abuse on WeChat, RedNote, and Douyin. The move signals tightening regulatory enforcement on generative AI platforms, though the specific criteria for removal remain unclear. This reflects Beijing's ongoing push to control AI-generated content and maintain information order.
