Minister of Communication and Information: Online Gambling and Illegal Loans Are Siblings, Avoid the Vicious Circle

Similar to Telegram, the Minister of Communication and Information stated that his party also applied the same thing to Bigo Live. Moreover, the platform has received a second warning, leaving the third warning letter as the final one.

“For now, based on the team’s report, the evidence is sufficient. It’s pornography, it’s online gambling, it’s gambling advertisements. When they said to fix it in the first (letter), it turned out it still didn’t, in the second (letter). Now in the third, that’s it. I think it’s time for game over. Just wait,” he explained further.

On the other hand, in response to the threat, Bigo Live previously stated that it had taken firm steps by tightening content moderation. The company has removed thousands of accounts that violated community guidelines, especially those related to online gambling and pornography content.

The company explained that this is part of Bigo Live’s commitment to providing a safe and clean digital environment. “We never tolerate sensitive or offensive content on our platform,” Bigo Live said in a statement.
