BEIJING, Sept 20 (Reuters) - China's internet regulator

said on Saturday it has directed its Beijing branch to impose

disciplinary measures on livestreaming platform Kuaishou

Technology ( KUASF ) and social media company Weibo ( WB ).

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said in

statement the actions to be taken include summoning company

representatives, issuing official warnings, and ordering

rectifications within a specified time frame.

The CAC said both platforms failed to fulfill their core

responsibility of content management, citing the frequent

appearance of problematic entries on their main trending lists,

particularly those hyping celebrity gossip and trivial personal

updates.
