The National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications said tips from the public led to the discovery of 20 articles and four videos on the sites that violated regulations. "Some of these articles were as long as 500-plus chapters and clocked millions of clicks . . . imperiling social morals and seriously harming minors' physical and mental health," the statement said, according to a report published by the Los Angeles Times.
