Coronavirus: Chinese app WeChat censored virus content since 1 Jan
Found on BBC News on Wednesday, 04 March 2020
The report also found that WeChat, owned by Chinese firm Tencent, blocked more words as the outbreak grew.
WeChat was found to have censored 132 keyword combinations between 1 - 31 January. As the outbreak continued, WeChat censored 384 new keywords between 1 - 15 February.
The censorship is particularly damaging because WeChat is such a central part of many people's lives in China - it is, in effect, WhatsApp, Facebook, Apple Pay and more, rolled into one.
Censorship has never worked. In the end, the facts are revealed and the censors lose trust.
