Severely cracking down on new forms of black and evil crimes, such as extortion related to public opinion, in accordance with the law, is a key task in deepening the special campaign against gang crime. Recently, the public security authorities' cyber security department followed the leads and continuously solved three cases of online extortion targeting the film and television industry, successfully arresting 24 suspects in total. This has effectively curbed the rampant arrogance of online black and gray industries and has genuinely safeguarded the order of online communication as well as the legitimate rights and interests of relevant parties.
