BEIJING (Reuters) – Beijing prosecutors have filed a civil public interest lawsuit against a Tencent subsidiary, saying that the “youth mode” on the company’s popular social messaging app WeChat does not comply with China’s underage law.
The lawsuit was filed by Beijing’s Haidian District People’s Procuratorate, according to a website run by China’s top prosecutor.
