Efforts to obfuscate and add doubt to the protests in China can be seen on Chinese social media, with spam bots posing as women looking for romance drowning out rally posts.
While the Chinese authorities have not directly commented on these rallies, they have repeatedly warned that"foreign forces" are a threat to national security and have interfered in the Hong Kong democracy protests.
Popular TV pundit and commentator Yu Li, whose Weibo username is Sima Nan and boasts 3.16 million fans, jokes in one post that he wants to thank foreign forces for interfering in the protests. In particular, a screenshot of a news article reporting that the CIA is looking to hire more Chinese speakers is being widely shared.was detained by Chinese police while covering the protests.
Another Weibo user made an unfounded accusation against Mr Lawrence, claiming he was a"British agent who was caught pretending to be a BBC reporter". The account provided no evidence to back up the claim.Accusations of foreign forces meddling in the protests are also appearing on other social media sites.
Posts mentioning Shanghai, a Chinese city which saw large protests, appear to have been deleted en masse from Weibo.While this screenshot for 北京 , a comparable city in terms of prominence and population, resulted in almost 40 million hits.As well as posts being deleted, those looking for information on the protests must contend with swathes of spam messages flooding social media.
It is not possible to know if the spam messages are burying protest posts by design or coincidence, nor can we measure how many posts are being taken down from sites like Weibo.Greatfire.org is a China-based group challenging Chinese censorship. It runs sites such as freeweibo.com which captures posts before they are deleted from the official Weibo platform and publishes them so they remain visible online.
