Xianyu Freezes 98,358 Accounts in Anti-Porn Crackdown

Second-hand marketplaces are becoming an enforcement front because their scale and low transaction friction make them attractive to traffic-solicitation operators, and Xianyu's numbers suggest the problem is industrial rather than incidental. The freeze-and-refer model also shows platforms increasingly acting as de facto intelligence conduits for police, which raises the stakes for how aggressively Alibaba polices adjacent content categories. Whether this cadence holds, and whether similar pressure spreads to other consumer marketplaces, is the open question.
