Chinese search engine giant Baidu has been told by authorities to clean up its content after pornographic files were found on its online storage service, the official Xinhua news service said late on Sunday. It said the instruction was given after Beijings cultural administrative authorities confirmed public tip-offs that some Baidu Cloud accounts hosted obscene content, citing a statement by Beijings anti-pornography and anti-illegal publications office. Baidu declined to provide immediate comment when contacted by phone. Chinas authorities launched an anti-pornography campaign in April as part of wider efforts to clean up the Internet, and a crackdown on online freedom of expression which has intensified since President Xi Jinping came to power early last year.
