It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Douyu has been punished for similar situations.

As early as 2016, Douyu was ordered by the Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Culture to stop providing 30,000 yuan and confiscating 115,800 yuan of illegal gains for providing prohibited content that endangered social morality, violating Article 16 (9) of the Interim Provisions on the Administration of Internet Culture.

Earlier this year, Douyu also violated the relevant provisions of Article 14 of the Measures for the Administration of Online Performance Business Activities because it immediately stopped the live broadcast and shut down the live broadcast room when disposing of the emergency of the illegal content of the XX live broadcast in the live broadcast room, but did not report the disposal situation.

Not long ago, the Douyu APP was also questioned by netizens for launching H&M brand advertisements on the opening screen page during the National Day. Then, Douyu apologized and said that after discovering the problem, the platform had taken the advertisement offline at the first time, and the company's leadership organized relevant departments to conduct in-depth reflection.

According to a previous report by Hubei Jingshi, some netizens complained that starting in the early morning of October 2, the home page of Douyu Live (that is, "Douyu") hung up H&M's 4-5 second open screen advertisement, and after clicking on the opening screen advertisement, it jumped to the main page of H&M. In this regard, the staff of Douyu Live broadcast has said that it is the company's content review problem, and the relevant advertisements have been removed.

According to Bedo Finance, Douyu is a company listed on the NASDAQ. In August 2020, Tencent had planned to lead the merger of Douyu and Huya. On July 10 this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued an announcement prohibiting tencent-led Huya from merging with Douyu in accordance with the law.

For the rejection of the merger of Douyu Huya, Tencent issued an announcement on July 10 that it had received an announcement from the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the company would conscientiously comply with the review decision, actively cooperate with regulatory requirements, operate in accordance with the law, and earnestly fulfill its social responsibilities.
