Sexy livestreamers teaching so-called adult English are questioned as soft pornography. Lawyers say it violates rules, and platforms should bear regulatory responsibility.

Have you seen those “adult English” livestreams lately? The female host stands in front of a blackboard and dresses quite revealingly.

I’ve seen them. They claim to teach English, but it’s really all about using sexual innuendo to attract traffic, even the vocabulary is suggestive.

Many netizens think it’s inappropriate, especially since minors might also see it. This already affects public morals.

From a business perspective, this is edge-marketing: high short-term traffic, but also high risk.

Lawyers have also said that even without explicit nudity, if sexual innuendo is the core, it counts as illegal marketing.

Then platforms can’t pretend they don’t see it. Algorithmic recommendations themselves amplify this kind of content.

Right. Platforms have responsibilities for pre-review, ongoing control, and post-incident handling. When problems arise, they can’t punish only the streamer.

In the end, teaching should return to teaching. Otherwise, the industry’s reputation will suffer, and no one will benefit.
