"clean net 2014" mainly cleans up pornographic content.

No, it's a way to censor a lot of websites or push them to self-censor their content.

There are multiple waves of "Campaign to cleanse the Internet". The linked wiki page is for 2014 and the latest one is in 2020: http://www.gov.cn/xinwen/2020-04/11/content_5501287.htm

I don't deny that "clean net" is pushing self-censorship.

I just want to point out that Pompeo’s goal of cleaning up a country can easily extend to ethnic groups, which seems to be a sign of fascism.
