The mobile application of Tripadvisor is among the 105 apps banned by China under a renewed campaign to "clean up" the internet. The action was taken by the Cyberspace Administration of China - a body assigned to filter out content from the internet that promotes obscenity, pornography, fraud, gambling, violence or prostitution. The reason behind the crackdown on the US-based Tripadvisor was not particularly specified.
