    WPS Locking User Document Sparks Privacy and Content Review Controversy

    In July 2022, a web novelist said a million-character novel document was locked and could not be opened by WPS on grounds of "prohibited content", triggering widespread questions about WPS reviewing users' files and violating privacy. WPS responded that it only restricted others' access to an online-shared document suspected of violations and would not delete or review local files, but the person said WPS customer service had admitted a system misjudgment. People's Daily and other outlets published articles discussing the boundaries of cloud document review; WPS's reputation was damaged.
