Gone bananas: China bans 'erotic' eating of the fruit on live streams

Move is part of attempt to rein in content of country's burgeoning and unregulated live-streaming sector

China has reportedly outlawed the "erotic" online consumption of bananas after the president, Xi Jinping, called for steps to "rehabilitate" his country's "cyber-ecology".

Speaking at a Communist party summit last year, Xi said action was needed to promote "civilised behaviour" on China's already heavily controlled internet.
