Unlicensed audiovisual services and content violations lead to rectification order and a 120,000 yuan fine
In June 2017, regulators ordered AcFun to shut down its unlicensed audiovisual program services. In September, enforcement authorities imposed a fine of 120,000 yuan, and the film and television, current affairs, and military channels were closed for rectification. The two reports are combined here as a single operational and content compliance incident.
