BEIJING, May 8 (Xinhua) -- China's cyberspace watchdog is launching a campaign to address major issues of public concern, including internet algorithms abuse, online fraud and cyber violence.

With multipronged efforts, the campaign targets algorithms abuse, fake internet accounts and rigged online traffic that facilitate illegal activities in commercial, cultural and entertainment sectors, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said in a press conference Saturday.

To create a better cyberspace, especially for the underage netizens, the campaign also cracks down on vulgar, pornographic and sensationalized content as well as cyber violence, the CAC said.
