China censored ahead of Tiananmen Square Massacre anniversary
Today marks 30 years since the Tiananmen Square Massacre, in which the Chinese army opened fire on students and activists protesting against corruption in the Communist Party, which is believed to have resulted in thousands of deaths.
The Chinese government begins to limit the information and platforms that Chinese citizens have access to ahead of each anniversary, and has seemingly increased its efforts this year, according to TechCrunch.
China blocked access to Wikipedia in every language back in April, for example. Likewise, video-sharing websites Bilibili and AcFun have suspended real-time comments until the end of June, which they claim is due to “system maintenance”.
Users of the WeChat messaging app have been stopped from updating their profile picture, alias and status. It is thought these measures are an attempt to stop the spread of information during the period.
