BEIJING (Reuters) - China's cyberspace regulator has imposed a fine of 1 million yuan ($137,390.95) on Tencent Holdings due to what it said was illegal and pornographic information on its messaging platform Tencent QQ, the regulator said on Wednesday.
Tencent QQ's security center said it accepted the fine and would take actions to improve the platform.
