A Huaihua man streamed obscene material for 26 minutes 26 seconds—earning just 0.1 yuan—drawing over 20,000 views; he received four months’ detention, suspended for six months, and a 2,000-yuan fine.

Social Context

Safety Tip

Avoid uploading or sharing any content containing nudity or explicit acts—even in private groups—as servers automatically flag and report such material to authorities.
