China banned streaming bananas

Stream or not? In China, this is now a difficult question.

Internet censorship in China works very well if the word “good” applies to censorship. Over time, the Chinese government adds new rules and regulations for Internet users. Some innovations may be (and are) quite strange. So, now the censors banned the video broadcast of users who “seductively eat bananas” and broadcast the whole process to the Web.

In addition, the Ministry of Culture of China is investigating a number of cases of consumption of such bananas on the resources of YY, Douyu, Panda.tv, and others. Many users have already been punishedfor "creating content with sexual connotations or violence that encourages viewers to break the law and also harms public morality." Not only banana eaters are punished, but also other violators.

The publication of China Central Television News reports that the majority of “banana” streamers are attractive girls, in which 77% of viewers are men. New rules oblige resources with user broadcasts to track individual channels and ban offenders. In addition to bananas, banned the demonstration of users in stockings, mini-skirts and tops.

Online broadcasts in China are becoming increasingly popular day by day, with some streamers attracting millions of subscribers and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Accordingly, earn and resources. According to the Associated Press, one of the most popular streaming sites in China, YY, increased revenue by 60% last year, receiving about $ 910 million per year. As in Europe or the United States, the Chinese are joking to the camera, singing or playing video games.

Now users from China are trying to understand what ways of eating bananas on the camera can now lead to a ban, and which - "safe." Well, and those most attractive girls about which there was a speech above, passed to cucumbers and a sweet potato.
