WeChat Cracks Down, Removing Over 26,000 AI-Modified Videos; the Four Great Classical Novels and Other Classics Must Not Be Parodied or Distorted

In response to the chaos of abusing AI technology to alter and deconstruct classic content, the WeChat platform recently announced the results of its special governance campaign, having collectively removed more than 26,000 AI-modified short videos. This move aims to maintain a healthy cultural communication order and curb the trend of unscrupulous traffic-seeking.

Serious Violations Have Seriously Misled the Public

Among the removed content, many creators used low-barrier AI generation tools to maliciously distort and vulgarly parody classic characters and plots from the Four Great Classical Novels. In addition, some videos involved horrifying or cult-like adaptations of historical figures, heroes and role models, and animated characters familiar to minors, seriously misleading minors' values.

Long-Term Governance to Protect a Clean Cyberspace

The WeChat platform stated that it will continue to implement long-term governance mechanisms, further improve its detection and handling capabilities, and strictly punish violating content and accounts. At the same time, the platform calls on creators to strengthen industry self-discipline and jointly create a clean online space.
