Representatives from video sharing app Douyin says Douyin is not banning Peppa Pig, according to National Business Daily and China National Radio.

A form allegedly from Douyin Community Regulations circulating on the internet lists British children's TV animation character Peppa Pig as a "banned element", along with "banned songs", "pornographic and vulgar behaviours", "illegal or regulation-violating behaviors" and "discomforting behaviors".

A Douyin user then posted a message from the Douyin app, which said that a video posted on April 21 containing Peppa Pig was banned from playing, for it "violates the community regulations and has not passed censorship".

On May 2, National Business Daily released a report, saying that a Douyin insider denied there is a ban on Peppa Pig and the alleged Community Regulations form is false.

According to the insider, "Douyin has made community regulations according to relevant law and regulations, hoping that everybody will maintain and follow the benign community regulations. However, the specific regulations could not be disclosed."

A China National Radio report on May 5 also said that the app has not banned Peppa Pig.
