China-based Tencent, which is at the top of the list of the largest gaming companies in the world, faced a new request from the Chinese government today. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will hold Tencent Holdings responsible for submitting new apps and updates for review before they are released, according to the statement from China Central Television (CCTV), which is run by the Chinese state.
China also gave a reason why it would review Tencent’s games or social media apps before releasing any apps or updates. Accordingly, some of Tencent’s applications were found to violate the rights and interests of users.
Tencent made a statement:
The statement from Tencent on the subject was not delayed. “We are constantly working to improve user protection features in our apps, and we are also collaborating with relevant government agencies to ensure regulatory compliance,” the company said in a statement. Our apps are working and available for download. ” he stated.
In a previous report by the Chinese financial media outlet Yicai, it was stated that the relevant ministry had to go through a review of about seven days before being released between November 24 and December 31 for all mobile apps and updates. Chinese regulators accused the country’s tech companies of monopolistic behavior and violating user rights last year, putting pressure on companies.
