LinkedIn will be discontinued in China, Microsoft announced Thursday. The company said the decision was made due to the “challenging operating environment” in the county, particularly due to its tightening internet censorship.

Microsoft said it will be replacing the professional networking site with a new website called InJobs, which will not contain the social media component found on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn, which debuted in China in 2014, allows users to search for jobs based on their personal and professional connections. Authorities in China have been investigating a number of domestic tech giants for suspected monopolistic tactics and aggressive data gathering.

The campaign is part of a broader government strategy to strengthen its control over the world’s second-largest economy, which includes a focus on private education, real estate, and casinos.

Microsoft’s decision to close down LinkedIn in China follows reports that the profiles of some journalists had been banned. This included renowned American journalists, who had “prohibited information” on their profiles, according to Chinese censors. This included Melissa Chan’s and Greg Bruno’s LinkedIn accounts. Aside from journalists, numerous academic and research profiles were allegedly banned in China.

Microsoft was instructed by Chinese officials in March to “better moderate” information on its LinkedIn site. A 30-day deadline was set for the firm to comply with the injunction.

Microsoft bought LinkedIn in 2016 for $26.2 billion. The company has since built a presence in China.  China has blocked access to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter for years. Due to the country’s censorship, Google was forced to leave the country in 2010.
